Posted on January 30, 2015 by Persiflage

In this post (which is a follow-up to the last post), I wanted to compute the group \( H_2(\Gamma_N(p),\mathbf{Z})\), where \( \Gamma_N(p)\) is the congruence subgroup of \( \mathrm{SL}_N(\mathbf{Z})\) for large enough \( N\) and \( p\) is prime. In … Continue reading →
