Abstract

For a closed locally symmetric space $M = Γ ∖ G ∕ K$ and a representation $ρ : G \to GL (N, ℂ)$ we consider the pushforward of the fundamental class in $H_{*} (BGL (\bar{ℚ}))$ and a related invariant in $K_{*} (\bar{ℚ}) \otimes ℚ$ . We discuss the nontriviality of this invariant and we generalize the construction to cusped locally symmetric spaces of $ℝ$ –rank one.
