Kobayashi's standardness conjecture for compact Clifford–Klein forms
Kobayashi's standardness conjecture for compact Clifford–Klein forms
Let be a connected semisimple non-compact Lie group and let be a closed subgroup. A Clifford–Klein form of is a quotient by a discrete subgroup acting properly and cocompactly. It is standard if it arises from a standard triple , where for reductive subgroups and is compact.
Kobayashi's conjecture. If has a compact Clifford–Klein form, then there is a structure of a Clifford–Klein form on 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.
