Abstract: In this paper we show that flat (m-1)-dimensional tori give nontrivial rational homology cycles in congruence covers of the locally symmetric space SL(m,Z) SL(m,R)/SO(m). We also show that the dimension of the subspace of H_{m-1}(Gamma SL(m,R)/SO(m);Q) spanned by flat (m-1)-tori grows as one goes up in congruence covers.
