Abstract: It is the aim of this article to give a reasonably detailed account of a specific bundle of geometric investigations and results pertaining to arithmetic groups, the geometry of the corresponding locally symmetric space $ X/\Gamma$ attached to a given arithmetic subgroup $ \Gamma \subset G$ of a reductive algebraic group $ G$ and its cohomology groups $ H^{\ast}(X/\Gamma, \C)$. We focus on constructing totally geodesic cycles in $ X/\Gamma$ which originate with reductive subgroups $ H \subset G$. In many cases, it can be shown that these cycles, to be called geometric cycles, yield non-vanishing (co)homology classes. Since the cohomology of an arithmetic group $ \Gamma$ is strongly related to the automorphic spectrum of $ \Gamma$, this geometric construction of non-vanishing classes leads to results concerning, for example, the existence of specific automorphic forms.
