The law of quadratic reciprocity and the celebrated connection between modular forms and elliptic curves over Q are both examples of reciprocity laws. Constructing new reciprocity laws is one of the goals of the Langlands program, which is meant to connect number theory with harmonic analysis and representation theory.

In this talk, I will survey some recent progress in establishing new reciprocity laws, relying on the Galois representations attached to torsion classes which occur in the cohomology of arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds. I will outline joint work in progress on better understanding these Galois representations, proving modularity lifting theorems in new settings, and applying this to elliptic curves over imaginary quadratic fields.
