Proportionality principle for the simplicial volume of families of Q-rank 1 locally symmetric spaces
arXiv:1209.4697
Abstract
We establish the proportionality principle between the Riemannian volume and locally finite simplicial volume for Q-rank 1 locally symmetric spaces covered by products of hyperbolic spaces, giving the first examples for manifolds whose cusp groups are not necessarily amenable. Also, we give a simple direct proof of the proportionality principle for the locally finite simplicial volume and the relative simplicial volume of Q-rank 1 locally symmetric spaces with amenable cusp groups established by Löh and Sauer.
