Kobayashi's standardness conjecture for compact Clifford–Klein forms

Let GG be a connected semisimple non-compact Lie group and let HH be a closed subgroup. A Clifford–Klein form of G/HG/H is a quotient Γ\G/H\Gamma\backslash G/H by a discrete subgroup ΓG\Gamma\subset G acting properly and cocompactly. It is standard if it arises from a standard triple (G,H,L)(G,H,L), where G=HLG=HL for reductive subgroups H,LGH,L\subset G and HLH\cap L is compact.

Kobayashi's conjecture. If G/HG/H has a compact Clifford–Klein form, then there is a structure of a Clifford–Klein form on G/HG/H which is standard.

The conjecture does not assert that every compact Clifford–Klein form is standard, only that a standard structure should exist for the underlying homogeneous space. Many partial results support it, and all known examples are standard or arise by deforming the discrete subgroup in a standard construction, but the general question remains open.
