Abstract: In this article, Eisenstein cohomology of the arithmetic group G2(mathbbZ) with coefficients in any finite dimensional highest weight irreducible representation has been determined. We accomplish this by studying the cohomology of the boundary of the Borel-Serre compactification.


The Eisenstein cohomology has many important applications in number theory, such as the special values of the \(L\)-functions, however our knowledge of the Eisenstein cohomology is still far from being complete. Let us denote by \(G_2\) the Chevalley group over \(\mathbb{Z}\) of type \(G_2\). In the paper under the review, the authors obtain a complete description of the boundary and Eisenstein cohomology of the arithmetic group \(G_2(\mathbb{Z})\) with coefficients in any finite dimensional highest weight representation of \(G_2\). To compute the boundary cohomology, authors use a spectral sequence whose first page consists of the cohomology of each boundary component, together with the classical results on the cohomology of \(\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\). To compute the Eisenstein cohomology, authors use a constructive method involving the theory of Eisenstein series, intertwining operators, and \(L\)-functions, following [\textit{G. Harder}, in: Proceedings of the international congress of mathematicians (ICM), August 21-29, 1990, Kyoto, Japan. Volume II. Tokyo etc.: Springer-Verlag. 779--790 (1991; Zbl 0752.11023)].
