A smooth action of a connected Lie group \(G\) on a manifold is called topologically engaging if there is some \(\widetilde g\in\widetilde G\) in the universal covering of \(G\) that acts on \(\widetilde M\) with locally closed orbits and that projects to an element \(g\in G\) that does not lie in a compact subgroup. In the present paper is shown that the action of a simple noncompact Lie group on a compact manifold preserving a unimodular rigid geometric structure of algebraic type (e.g. a connection together with a volume density) is topologically engaging on an open conull dense set.
