This is a small survey paper about connections between the arithmetic and geometric properties in the case of arithmetic Fuchsian groups.

We apply G. Prasad’s volume formula for the arithmetic quotients of semi-simple groups and Bruhat-Tits theory to study the covolumes of arithmetic subgroups of . As a result we prove that for any even dimension there exists a unique compact arithmetic hyperbolic -orbifold of the smallest volume. We give a formula for the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of the orbifolds and present an explicit description of their fundamental groups as the stabilizers of certain lattices in quadratic spaces. We...
