Abstract
We give an elementary proof of a weak variant of the homotopy type conjecture from [Gel04]. The proof relies on Belolipetskys estimate on the systole in terms of the volume which is a consequence of Prasads volume formula. In particular we extend the estimate established in [B20] for hyperbolic manifolds to general arithmetic manifolds.
