Abstract

We prove that for $n > 4$ there is no compact arithmetic hyperbolic $n$ –manifold whose Euler characteristic has absolute value equal to $2$ . In particular, this shows the nonexistence of arithmetically defined hyperbolic rational homology $n$ –spheres with $n$ even and different than $4$ .

Dedicated to the memory of Colin Maclachlan
