This introductory chapter presents the general principle that the cohomology of arithmetic groups and the L-functions L(s, π‎, r) attached to irreducible “pieces” π‎ have a strong symbiotic relationship with each other. The symbiosis goes in both directions. The first is that expressions in the special values L(k, π‎, r) enter in the transcendental description of the cohomology. Since the cohomology is defined over ℚ one can deduce rationality (algebraicity) results for these expressions in special values. Next, these special values in turn influence the structure of the cohomology as a Hecke module; prime numbers dividing these values occur in the denominators of Eisenstein classes.

Keywords:   cohomology, arithmetic groups, L-functions, symbiosis, algebraicity, Eisenstein cohomology, Eisenstein classes
