Abstract: We give an explicit description of the inner cohomology of an adelic locally symmetric space of a given level structure attached to the general linear group of prime rank n, with coefficients in a locally constant sheaf of complex vector spaces. We show that for all prime n the inner cohomology vanishes in all degrees for nonconstant sheaves, otherwise the quotient module of the inner cohomology classes that are not cuspidal is trivial in all degrees for primes n=2,3, and for all primes ngeq5 it is trivial in all but finitely many degrees where it has a `simple' description in terms of algebraic Hecke characters.


In the present paper, the author gives an explicit description of the inner cohomology of an adèlic locally symmetric space of a given level structure attached to the general linear group of prime rank $n$ with coefficients in a locally constant sheaf of complex vector spaces. He shows that for all primes $n$ the inner cohomology vanishes in all degrees for nonconstant sheaves, otherwise the quotient module of the inner cohomology classes that are not cuspidal is trivial in all degrees for primes $n=2$, $3$, and for all primes $n \geq 5$ the description of the same at degrees where it is nontrivial is given in terms of algebraic Hecke characters. In order to obtain his result, the author uses the spectral decomposition of \textit{R. P. Langlands} [On the functional equations satisfied by Eisenstein series. Berlin etc.: Springer-Verlag (1976; Zbl 0332.10018)], \textit{C. Moeglin} and \textit{J. L. Waldspurger} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 22, No. 4, 605--674 (1989; Zbl 0696.10023)], and the result of [\textit{J.-S. Li} and \textit{J. Schwermer}, Duke Math. J. 123, No. 1, 141--169 (2004; Zbl 1057.11031)].
