Abstract

We study how the systole of principal congruence coverings of a Hilbert modular variety grows when the degree of the covering goes to infinity. We prove that, given a Hilbert modular variety $M_{k}$ of real dimension $2 n$ defined over a number field $k$ , the sequence of principal congruence coverings $M_{I}$ eventually satisfies

{sys}_{1} (M_{I}) \geq \frac{4}{3 \sqrt{n}} log (vol (M_{I})) - c,

where $c$ is a constant independent of $M_{I}$ .
