Title: Congruence subgroups and twisted cohomology of SL_n(F[t]) II: Finite fields and number fields Author: Kevin P. Knudson, Wayne State University This is a continuation of a previous paper. Let K be the subgroup of SL_n(F[t]) consisting of matrices congruent to I mod t. In part I, we conjectured that H_1(K) is the adjoint representation provided n is at least 3 and F is a finite field. In this paper, we prove this not only for finite fields, but also for number fields. Applications to the cohomology of SL_n(F[t]) with coefficients in irreducible SL_n(F)-modules are given. We also study the analogous question for SL_n(F[t,t^{-1}]). Status: preprint
