The Borel-Moore homology of an arithmetic quotient of the Bruhat-Tits   building of PGL of a non-archimedean local field in positive characteristic   and modular symbols
  We study the homology and the Borel-Moore homology with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$ of a quotient (called arithmetic quotient) of the Bruhat-Tits building of $\mathrm{PGL}$ of a nonarchimedean local field of positive characteristic by an arithmetic subgroup (a special case of the general definition in Harder's article (Invent.\ Math.\ 42, 135-175 (1977)).   We define an analogue of modular symbols in this context and show that the image of the canonical map from homology to Borel-Moore homology is contained in the sub $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space generated by the modular symbols.   By definition, the limit of the Borel-Moore homology as the arithmetic group becomes small is isomorphic to the space of $\mathbb{Q}$-valued automorphic forms that satisfy certain conditions at a distinguished (fixed) place (namely that it is fixed by the Iwahori subgroup and the center at the place). We show that the limit of the homology with $\mathbb{C}$-coefficients is identified with the subspace consisting of cusp forms. We also describe an irreducible subquotient of the limit of Borel-Moore homology as an induced representation in a precise manner and give a multiplicity one type result.
