At the November workshop, I described a new algorithm to cover compact, congruence locally symmetric spaces by balls. I’ll discuss how to compute the nerve of such a covering and Hecke actions on its cohomology. Joint work with Aurel Page.At the November workshop, I described a new algorithm to cover compact, congruence locally symmetric spaces by balls.
