Abstract

In this article, we show that if $\mathbb{G}$ is a simply connected Chevalley group of either classical type of rank bigger than $1$ or type ${\rm E}_6$ and if $q>9$ is a power of a prime number $p>5$, then $G=\mathbb{G}\big(\mathbb{F}_q((t^{-1}))\big)$, up to an automorphism, has a unique lattice of minimum covolume, which is $\mathbb{G}(\mathbb{F}_q[t])$
