Are finite presentations of arithmetic groups computable?

In this famous paper by Borel and Harish-Chandra, Arithmetic Subgroups of Algebraic Groups, it is proved that, in characterisitic zero, arithmetic groups are finitely presented. I have an extremely ...

Reference for the fact that $SL_n(O_K)$ surjects onto $SL_n(O_K/I)$ for any ideal I

Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring of integers in an algebraic number field $K$ and let $I \subset \mathcal{O}_K$ be a nonzero proper ideal. It is not hard to see that the map $\text{SL}_n(\mathcal{O}_K)...

Is a presentation of the hyperbolic orthogonal group of rank 2 over the integers known?

The hyperbolic orthogonal group $O_{g,g}(\mathbb{Z})$ often appears in the study of high-dimensional manifolds, see e.g. work of Kreck or Galatius and Randal-Williams. Let $H$ denote the lattice $\...

Cohomology of linear algebraic groups

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Let $G\subset \mathrm{GL}_m$ be a linear algebraic subgroup. Has the group cohomology $H^i(G(R),R^m)$ been studied in the literature? For example, do we know (1) $H^...
