The Siegel Modular Group is the Lattice of Minimal Covolume in the Symplectic Group

The Siegel Modular Group is the Lattice of Minimal Covolume in the Symplectic Group

Let $n \geqslant 2$. We prove that, up to conjugation, $\mathrm{Sp}_{2n} (\mathbf{Z})$ is the lattice in $\mathrm{Sp}_{2n} (\mathbf{R})$ which has the smallest covolume.
