Abstract Two number fields are said to be Brauer equivalent if there is an isomorphism between their Brauer groups that commutes with restriction. In this paper, we prove a variety of number theoretic results about Brauer equivalent number fields (for example, they must have the same signature). These results are then applied to the geometry of certain arithmetic locally symmetric spaces. As an example, we construct incommensurable arithmetic locally symmetric spaces containing exactly the same set of proper immersed totally geodesic surfaces.

Abstract We prove the injectivity of Oda-type restriction maps for the cohomology of noncompact congruence quotients of symmetric spaces. This includes results for restriction between (1) congruence real hyperbolic manifolds, (2) congruence complex hyperbolic manifolds, and (3) orthogonal Shimura varieties. These results generalize results for compact congruence quotients by Bergeron and Clozel [Quelques conséquences des travaux d’Arthur pour le spectre et la topologie des variétés hyperboliques, Invent. Math.192 (2013), 505–532] and Venkataramana [Cohomology of compact locally symmetric spaces, Compos. Math.125 (2001), 221–253]. The proofs combine techniques of mixed Hodge theory and methods involving automorphic forms.

AbstractTwo constructions of cohomology classes for congruence subgroups of unit groups of quadratic forms over totally real number fields are given and shown to coincide. One is geometric, using cycles, and the other is analytic, using the oscillator (Weil) representation. Considerable background material on this representation is given.

AbstractWe study the cohomology of compact locally symmetric spaces attached to arithmetically defined subgroups of the real Lie group G = SU*(2n). Our focus is on constructing totally geodesic cycles which originate with reductive subgroups in G. We prove that these cycles, also called geometric cycles, are non-bounding. Thus this geometric construction yields non-vanishing (co)homology classes.In view of the interpretation of these cohomology groups in terms of automorphic forms, the existence of non-vanishing geometric cycles implies the existence of certain automorphic forms. In the case at hand, we substantiate this close relation between geometry and automorphic theory by discussing the classification of irreducible unitary representations of G with non-zero cohomology in some detail. This permits a comparison between geometric constructions and automorphic forms.
