Simplicial volume with \(\mathbb{F}_p\)-coefficients (Q2300143)

The classical simplicial volume \(||\cdot||_\mathbb{R}\) of an oriented closed connected manifold, introduced by \textit{M. Gromov} [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 56, 5--99 (1982; Zbl 0516.53046)], is defined in terms of the \(l^1\)-norm on the singular chain complex with real coefficients. Ignoring weights the author studies a simplicial volume \(|| \cdot ||_{(R)}\) for any subring \(R \subseteq \mathbb{R}\). This leads to an \(\mathbb{F}_p\)-version \(||\cdot||_{(\mathbb{F}_p)}\). The author discusses relations between such volumes (varying coefficients) and Betti numbers. The following questions are addressed:\par What is the topological/geometric meaning of these invariants? \par How do these invariants relate to other topological invariants? \par (How) does the choice of the prime \(p\) effect the simplicial volume? \par Do these invariants relate to the weightless \(\mathbb{Q}\)-simplicial volume?\par What happens if \(\mathbb{F}_p\)-simplicial volumes are stabilized along a tower of finite coverings?
