Higher rank arithmetic lattices have bounded representation growth

If $\Gamma$ is an arithmetic lattice whose $\mathbb{Q}$-rank is greater than one, let $r_n(\Gamma)$ be the number of irreducible $n$-dimensional representations of $\Gamma$ up to isomorphism. We prove that there is a constant $C$ (for example, $C=746$ suffices) such that $r_n(\Gamma)=O(n^C)$ for every such $\Gamma$. We also prove similar results for lattices in positive characteristic.
