Abstract

In this paper we study the systole growth of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces up congruence covers and show that this growth is at least logarithmic in volume. This generalizes previous work of Buser and Sarnak, and Katz, Schaps and Vishne in the context of compact arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds of dimension $2$ and $3$.
