Clay Mathematics Proceedings 4, 551-582 (2005). From the text: This is both a survey on and an introduction into several compactifications of modular varieties and applications to cohomology groups of these spaces. The article is in some sense complementary to the survey articles of J. Schwermer [Cohomology of arithmetic groups and automorphic forms, Proc. Conf., Luminy/Fr. 1989, Lect. Notes Math. 1447, 1–29 (1990; Zbl 0715.11028)] and A. Borel [in: Proc. int. Conf., Neptun/Rom. 1980, Vol. I, Monogr. Stud. Math. 17, 28–45 (1984; Zbl 0525.22013)].For the entire collection see [Zbl 1083.11002].
