  Abstract

We compute the value of the simplicial volume for closed, oriented Riemannian manifolds covered by Formula explicitly, and thus in particular for products of closed hyperbolic surfaces. This gives the first exact value of a nonvanishing simplicial volume for a manifold not admitting a hyperbolic structure.
