Mini-workshop: Computations in the cohomology of arithmetic groups. Abstracts from the mini-workshop held October 30 -- November 5, 2016 (Q1749547)

Summary: Explicit calculations play an important role in the theoretical development of the cohomology of groups and its applications. It is becoming more common for such calculations to be derived with the aid of a computer. This mini-workshop assembled together experts on a diverse range of computational techniques relevant to calculations in the cohomology of arithmetic groups and applications in algebraic \(K\)-theory and number theory with a view to extending the scope of computer aided calculations in this area.
