For locally symmetric spaces\, it can be used to study the growth of the torsi on subgroup of the cohomology of arithmetic groups for towers of congruenc e subgroups or special sequences of local systems of growing rank. I will review some of the recent results and discuss some open problems.\n DTSTART:20171025T200000Z DTEND:20171025T210000Z LOCATION:Room PK-5115 \, CA\, Pavillon President-Kennedy SUMMARY:Werner Müller\, Université de Bonn URL:/mathstat/channels/event/werner-muller-universite- de-bonn-279851 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
