Cohomology with twisted one-dimensional coefficients for congruence subgroups of \(\operatorname{SL}_4(\mathbb{Z})\) and Galois representations (Q2306655)

The authors add new data to their ongoing project to calculate cohomology of arithmetic groups in certain vector spaces over finite fields. Here, they consider cohomology in degree five of congruence subgroups of small level in \(\mathrm{SL}_4(\mathbb Z)\) acting on certain finite fields with a twist by a nebentype character. They also calculate the Hecke action on the cohomology and propose candidates for Galois representations corresponding to the eigenclasses due to old conjectures explained, e.g., in [\textit{A. Ash}, Prog. Math. 102, 9--22 (1992; Zbl 0754.11016)] and a more recent Theorem of \textit{P. Scholze} [Ann. Math. (2) 182, No. 3, 945--1066 (2015; Zbl 1345.14031)]. They explain their refined methods and their findings and add a long list of numerical data.
