Abstract:
The integral cohomology of $GL_n$ and its stable version
$GL$ over a ring of integers $\mathcal O_F$ in a number field $F$ has
been the source of rich mathematical ideas. One approach is to
localize the problem at each prime $p$. In this talk, we look at mod
$p$ cohomology of $GL_n\mathcal O_F[1/p]$ where $F$ is the cyclotomic
field of $p$-roots of unity. In particular, we describe some explicit
cycles in the mod $p$ homology of $SL_2\mathcal O_F[1/p]$ which are
relevant for the general case.
