In this paper we continue the investigation of compact manifolds locally modelled on a homogeneous space of a finite dimensional Lie group. We recall that a manifold M is locally modelled on a homogeneous space J\H if there is an atlas on M consisting of local diffeomorphisms with open sets in J\H and where the transition functions are given by restrictions to open sets of translations by elements of H acting on J\H . A basic example is given by a cocompact lattice in J\H , namely a discrete… Expand

In this note we continue the investigation of manifolds locally modelled on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces, along the lines developed in [3], [4]. If H/J is a homogeneous space of a Lie group H, aExpand
On discontinuous group actions on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces
This article gives an up-to-date account of the theory of discrete group actions on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces. As an introduction of the motifs of this article, we begin by reviewing theExpand
Discontinuous Groups and Clifford—Klein Forms of Pseudo-Riemannian Homogeneous Manifolds
Let G be a Lie group and H a subgroup. A Clifford-Klein form of the homogeneous manifold G/H is a double coset space / G/H , where is a subgroup of G acting properly discontinuously and freely on G/HExpand

In the present article we show that there is a large class of homogeneous spaces G/H of reductive type which cannot be a local model for any compact manifold M with solvable fundamental group.Expand
Discontinuous Groups for Non-Riemannian Homogeneous Spaces
A Lie group is a group G equipped with the structure of a C∞-manifold such that the multiplication $$G \times G \to G,\quad (x,y) \mapsto x{{y}^{{ - 1}}}$$ is a C∞ map. In the definition, C∞Expand
Volume and non-existence of compact Clifford-Klein forms
This article studies the volume of compact quotients of reductive homogeneous spaces. Let $G/H$ be a reductive homogeneous space and $\Gamma$ a discrete subgroup of $G$ acting properlyExpand
Semisimple symmetric spaces that do not model any compact manifold
In a previous paper, we obtained a cohomological obstruction to the existence of compact manifolds locally modelled on a homogeneous space. In this paper, we give a classification of the semisimpleExpand
Compact forms of homogeneous spaces and higher-rank semisimple group actions
This paper proves that there are no compact forms for a large class of homogeneous spaces admitting actions by higher-rank semisimple Lie groups. It builds on Zimmer's approach for studying suchExpand
