%0 Journal Article %T Construction of eigenvarieties in small cohomological dimensions for semi-simple, simply connected groups %A Richard Hill %J Mathematics %D 2007 %I arXiv %X We study low order terms of Emerton's spectral sequence for simply connected, simple groups. As a result, for real rank 1 groups, we show that Emerton's method for constructing eigenvarieties is successful in cohomological dimension 1. For real rank 2 groups, we show that a slight modification of Emerton's method allows one to construct eigenvarieties in cohomological dimension 2. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.3670v1
