Modular representations of \(\text{GL}(3,\mathbb{F}_p)\), symmetric squares, and mod-\(p\) cohomology of \(\text{GL}(3,\mathbb{Z})\) (Q1969360)

The authors show certain cases of nonabelian reciprocity between mod \(p\) Galois representations and Hecke eigenclasses in the mod \(p\) cohomology of \(\text{GL}(3,\mathbb{Z})\), using the symmetric square liftings from \(\text{GL}(2)\) and congruences on Hecke eigenvalues. In order to finish their proof, they develop some modular representation theory for \(\text{GL}(3,\mathbb{Z}/p)\), and invoke certain computer calculations.
