Semisimple symmetric spaces without compact manifolds locally modelled thereon (Q2346099)

In an earlier work the author established a cohomological restriction to the existence of compact Clifford-Klein forms for reductive symmetric spaces. In this work, he applies a reformulation of this criterion in terms of Lie algebra cohomology to derive a classification of semi-simple, pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces which do not admit a compact Clifford-Klein form.
