Space form conjecture for compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds

From papers

A pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature (p,q)(p,q) is understood here to be compact and complete, with constant sectional curvature 11. Space form conjecture. There exists such a manifold if and only if (p,q)(p,q) belongs to the list specified in Example (4) of the source.

This conjecture concerns the classification of compact pseudo-Riemannian space forms and is linked to compact standard quotients of reductive homogeneous spaces. The source records substantial classification results for irreducible symmetric spaces and an announced resolution in a class with simple GG, but does not state that the full conjecture is resolved.
