Homological methods in certain Picard group computations

Abstract: Let

G

be a connected complex semisimple Lie group,

G a m m a

be a cocompact, irreducible and torsionless lattice in

G

and

K

be a maximal compact subgroup of

G

. Assume

G a m m a

acts by left multiplication and

K

acts by right multiplication on

G

. Let

,

X = G / K

and

. In this article we prove that for any

n g e q 0

, the composition

H^{n} (X_{G a m m a}, m a t h b b C) i g h t a r r o w H^{n} (M_{G a m m a}, m a t h b b C) i g h t a r r o w H^{n} (M_{G a m m a}, m a t h c a l O_{M_{G a m m a}})

is an isomorphism. As an application when

G

is simply connected, we compute the Picard group of

M_{G a m m a}

for the cases rank(

G

)

= 1, 2

. More precisely we show that if rank(

G

)

= 1

,

P i c (M_{G a m m a}) = (m a t h b b C^{r} / m a t h b b Z^{r}) o p l u s A

and if rank(

G

)

= 2

, then

P i c (M_{G a m m a}) c o n g A

via the first Chern class map, where

A

is the torsion subgroup of

H^{2} (M_{G a m m a}, m a t h b b Z)

and

r

is the rank of

G a m m a / [G a m m a, G a m m a]

.
