Let $G$ be a real, connected, semisimple Lie group and $\Gamma < G$ a torsion-free lattice. Then does there exist a finite $CW$-model for $B\Gamma$? I know this to be true in many instances (e.g. ...

Let $S$ be a locally symmetric space, not necessarily compact, and $\overline{S}$ be its Borel-Serre compactification. Let $\partial S$ be the boundary of $S$. Let $\widetilde{\mathbb{C}}$ be the ...

Is the principal fiber bundle $GL^+(6,\mathbb R)$ over $GL^+(6,\mathbb R)/SL(3,\mathbb C)$ trivial ?

Let $X = G/K$ be a Riemannian symmetric space of compact type and consider the "Weil homomorphism" $$w^\bullet: H^\bullet(BK; \mathbb R) \to H^\bullet(X; \mathbb R),$$ i.e. the map in cohomology ...
