Kobayashi's standard-form conjecture for reductive homogeneous spaces

Let GG be a Lie group and let HH be a reductive subgroup. A compact form of H\GH\backslash G is a compact quotient by a properly discontinuous group action. Suppose that LL is a Lie subgroup of GG such that

HL=G,HL=G,

HLH\cap L is compact, and Γ\Gamma is a uniform lattice in LL. Such a quotient

H\G/Γ(HL)\L/ΓH\backslash G/\Gamma\cong (H\cap L)\backslash L/\Gamma

is called a standard form; it is enough more generally that HLHL be cocompact in GG. Kobayashi's standard-form conjecture. If H\GH\backslash G possesses a compact form, then it possesses a standard form.
