Title: On the equivariant $K$- and $KO$-homology of some special linear groups Author: Sam Hughes Affiliation: University of Southampton Abstract: We compute the equivariant $KO$-homology of the classifying space for proper actions of $\textrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$ and $\textrm{GL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$. We also compute the Bredon homology and equivariant $K$-homology of the classifying spaces for proper actions of $\textrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{p}])$ and $\textrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{p}])$ for each prime $p$. Finally, we prove the unstable Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for $\textrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z}[\frac{1}{p}])$ when $p\equiv11\pmod{12}$.
