2 mah 2006, Jean Lafont (Ohio State University): Simplicial volume of locally symmetric spaces of non-compact type.

Abstract. I will define simplicial volume of a topological manifold, and motivate the interest in the positivity of this invariant. I will then outline a proof that the simplicial volume of locally symmetric spaces of non-compact type is in fact positive. This was joint work with Ben Schmidt.
