The author describes results from his thesis. Let \(\mathcal O\) be the ring of integers in an imaginary quadratic number field \(K\), \(\Gamma\subseteq \text{GL}(2,{\mathcal O})\) a cofinite subgroup, and \(F\) some finite field. One asks whether and how Hecke eigenclasses in \(H_1(\Gamma,\overline{F})\) (a homological version of mod \(\ell\) cusp forms) are related to representations of the absolute Galois group of \(K\). One should relate two of these objects if for almost all primes in \(\mathcal O\) the Hecke eigenvalue equals the trace of a Frobenius element. Note that for this to make sense one seems to need class number 1 [cf. the author's definition of Hecke operators). The hope is that to every irreducible two-dimensional Galois representation over \(F\) there exists a matching Hecke eigenclass (for some \(\Gamma\)). This should be compared to Serre's conjecture, to \textit{A. Ash}'s more general program for groups over \(\mathbb{Z}\) [cf. his article, Duke Math. J. 65, 235-255 (1992; Zbl 0774.11024)], and to the reviewer's paper [\textit{S. Kühnlein}, J. Number Theory 70, 184-190 (1998; Zbl 0906.11022)]. Finally some examples are treated for which machine computations seem to indicate the validity of the conjectural correspondence.
