Abstract or Additional Information
The systole of a compact Riemannian manifold M is the least length of a non-contractible loop on M. In this talk I will survey some recent work with S. Lapan and J. Meyer on the systolic geometry of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces, emphasizing systole growth along congruence covers.
