On the mod-2 cohomology of SL_3(Z[1/2,i])
Let Gamma = SL_3(Z[1/2,i]), let X be any mod-2 acyclic Gamma-CW complex
on which Gamma acts with finite stabilizers, e.g. the product of the
symmetric space for
SL(3,Z[i]) and the Bruhat-Tits building for SL_3(Q_2[i]), and let X_s be
the
2-singular locus of X. We explain how to calculate the mod-2 cohomology
of the Borel construction of X_s
with respect to the action of Gamma. This cohomology coincides with the
mod-2 cohomology
of Gamma in cohomological degrees bigger than 8; and the result is
compatible with a conjecture of
Quillen which predicts the strucure of the cohomology ring
H*(Gamma; Z/2).
