Abstract

During the past ten years of the most inspiring and very fruitful collaboration with Joachim Schwermer, we have carefully studied the non-vanishing conditions for certain summands in the decomposition along the cuspidal support of the (square-integrable) Eisenstein cohomology of a reductive group over a totally real number field. These conditions form a subtle combination of geometric conditions, arising from cohomological considerations, and arithmetic conditions, arising from the analytic properties of Eisenstein series and given in terms of automorphic L-functions. This paper is a survey of the most important results of our long-lasting collaboration.

To Joachim Schwermer, with gratitude and admiration, for the occasion of his 66th birthday
