review text: Let \((G,K) = (\mathrm{SL}_n({\mathbb R}),\mathrm{SO}(n))\) or \((\mathrm{SL}_n({\mathbb C}),\mathrm{SU}(n))\) with \(n \geq 2\) and let \(X\) be the symmetric space \(K \backslash G\). The main result of the paper is that there is a cocompact discrete subgroup \(\Gamma \subset G\) such that \(H^k(X/\Gamma;{\mathbb C})\) is non-vanishing for certain \(k\). The proof relies on the geometric method developed by \textit{J. J. Millson} and \textit{M. S. Raghunathan} [in: Geometry and analysis, Pap. dedic. Mem. V. K. Patodi, 103--123 ; also published in Proc. Indian Acad. Sci., Math. Sci. 90, 103--124 (1981; Zbl 0514.22007)] and \textit{J. Rohlfs} and \textit{J. Schwermer} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 6, No. 3, 755--778 (1993; Zbl 0811.11039)]. As a consequence, the author proves some results concerning certain automorphic representations of \(\mathrm{SL}_n({\mathbb C})\).
