Torus bundles over locally symmetric varieties associated to cocycles of discrete groups (Q1573759)

Let \(G\) be a semisimple Lie group of Hermitean type such that the Riemannian symmetric space \(D=G/K\) associated to a maximal compact subgroup \(K\subset G\) has the structure of a Hermitian symmetric domain. Let \(V\) be a real vector space \(\mathbb R^{2m}\) equipped with a non-degenerate alternating bilinear form \(\beta\). Let \(\Gamma\) be a torsion-free discrete subgroup of \(G\), and let \(L\) be a lattice in \(V\) with a certain stability property with respect to \(\Gamma\). In the paper under review the authors study torus bundles over locally symmetric spaces (which generalize Kuga bundles), associated to cocycles in the cohomology group \(H^2(\Gamma,L)\) of \(\Gamma\) with respect to its action on \(L\). The authors prove that such a torus bundle has a canonical complex structure and that the space of its holomorphic forms of the highest degree on a certain fiber product of such bundles is isomorphic to the space of mixed automorphic forms of a certain type.
