### Simplicial volume of $\mathbb{Q}$–rank one locally symmetric spaces covered by the product of $\mathbb{R}$–rank one symmetric spaces

#### Abstract

In this paper, we show that the simplicial volume of $ℚ$–rank one locally symmetric spaces covered by the product of $ℝ$–rank one symmetric spaces is strictly positive.
