Cohomology of $S$-arithmetic groups with trivial coefficients such as $H^n(\rm{PGL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[1/N]);\mathbb{Z})$

As $\rm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})=(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})*(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})$, its cohomology groups $H^n(\rm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z});\mathbb{Z})$ are easy to get. Let $N$ be a product of distinct primes. ...

Cardinality or covolume of $S$-units in quaternion algebras

Let $D=\left(\frac{a,b}{\mathbb{Q}}\right)$ be a quaternion algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$. Suppose $D$ is ramified at a finite set $S$ of places and $\infty\in S$. It is known that the $S$-units (the unit ...

Explicit construction of division algebras of degree 3 over $\mathbb{Q}$

In his book Introduction to arithmetic groups, Dave Witte Morris implicitly gives a construction of central division algebras of degree 3 over $\mathbb{Q}$ in Proposition 6.7.4. More precisely, let $L/...

Lower bounds for the top rational cohomology of arithmetic groups

I would like to know what estimates exist for the dimension of $H^d({\rm GL}_2(\mathcal{O}_{K,S}),\mathbb{Q})$ where $\mathcal{O}_{K,S}$ is a ring of $S$-integers in a number field $K$ and $d$ is the ...

Subgroups of $Sp(2n,\mathbb{R})$ between $Sp(2n,\mathbb{Z})$ and some arithmetic group

The fantastic answers to my previous question Subgroups of $SL_2(\mathbb R)$ which contain $SL_2(\mathbb Z)$ as a finite index subgroup led me to the following question. Let $O_K$ be the ring of ...
