Computing Hecke Operators for Arithmetic Subgroups of General Linear Groups

Authors Mark McConnell, Robert MacPherson

Abstract: We present an algorithm to compute the Hecke operators on the equivariant cohomology of an arithmetic subgroup

G a m m a

of the general linear group

m a t h r m {G L}_{n}

. This includes

m a t h r m {G L}_{n}

over a number field or a finite-dimensional division algebra. As coefficients, we may use any finite-dimensional local coefficient system. Unlike earlier methods, the algorithm works for the cohomology

H^{i}

in all degrees

i

. It starts from the well-rounded retract

i l d e W

, a

G a m m a

-invariant cell complex which computes the cohomology. It extends

i l d e W

to a new well-tempered complex

i l d e W^{+}

of one higher real dimension, using a real parameter called the temperament. The algorithm has been coded up for

m a t h r m {S L}_{n} (m a t h b b Z)

for

n = 2, 3, 4

; we present some results for congruence subgroups of

m a t h r m {S L}_{3} (m a t h b b Z)

.
