Nous montrons que l'ensemble des réseaux symplectiques dans l'espace de Siegel hg dont les systoles engendrent un sous-espace de dimension au moins 3 dans R2g ne contient aucun rétract par déformation Sp(2g,Z)-équivariant de hg.

We prove that the set of symplectic lattices in the Siegel space hg whose systoles generate a subspace of dimension at least 3 in R2g does not contain any Sp(2g,Z)-equivariant deformation retract of hg.
