Using Lefschetz numbers of certain involutions, we provide lower bounds for the cuspidal cohomology of principal congruence subgroups of Bianchi groups. The asymptotic lower bounds that follow from our results complement recent results of Calegari-Emerton, Marshall and Finis-Grunewald-Tirao. Moreover, we discuss the relationship between these involutions and the base change classes in the cohomology.
Let K be an imaginary quadratic field with class number one and ring of integers O. We prove that mod l, a system of Hecke eigenvalues occurring in the first cohomology group of some congruence subgroup Gamma of SL(2,O) can be realized in the first cohomology with trivial coefficients after increasing the level of Gamma by l.
Let Z(X) be the number of degree-d extensions of F_q(t) with bounded discriminant and some specified Galois group. The problem of computing Z(X) can be related to a problem of counting F_q-rational points on certain Hurwitz spaces. Ellenberg and Venkatesh used this idea to develop a heuristic for the asymptotic behavior of Z'(X), the number of -geometrically connected- extensions, and showed that this agrees with the conjectures of Malle for function fields. We extend Ellenberg-Venkatesh's argument to handle the more complicated case of covers of P^1 which may not be geometrically connected, and show thatthe resulting heuristic suggests a natural modification to Malle's conjecture which avoids the counterexamples, due to Klüners, to the original conjecture.
For a given conic bundle X over a curve C defined over F_q, we count irreducible branch covers of C in X of degree d and height e>>1. As a special case, we get the number of algebraic numbers of degree d and height e over the function field F_q (C).
We give a group theoretic proof of the splitting of sharply 2-transitive groups of characteristic 3.
