Abstract: Let K be the field of formal Laurent series over the finite field of order q. We construct cocompact lattices Gamma'_0 < Gamma_0 in the group G = PGL_d(K) which are type-preserving and act transitively on the set of vertices of each type in the building associated to G. The stabiliser of each vertex in Gamma'_0 is a Singer cycle and the stabiliser of each vertex in Gamma_0 is isomorphic to the normaliser of a Singer cycle in PGL_d(q). We then show that the intersections of Gamma'_0 and Gamma_0 with PSL_d(K) are lattices in PSL_d(K), and identify the pairs (d,q) such that the entire lattice Gamma'_0 or Gamma_0 is contained in PSL_d(K). Finally we discuss minimality of covolumes of cocompact lattices in SL_3(K). Our proofs combine a construction of Cartwright and Steger with results about Singer cycles and their normalisers, and geometric arguments.
