Let G be a connected semi-simple algebraic group defined over Q and let Γ be a discrete subgroup of GR (the subgroup of G consisting of points rational over R) such that Γ\GR is compact. The main purpose of the present paper is to prove that for a certain type of group G there exists an invariant algebraic differential from ω on G of highest degree defined over Q such that
