      A compact Clifford-Klein form of a homogeneous space \(G/H\) is defined as a quotient \(\Gamma\setminus G/H\) where \(\Gamma\) is a subgroup of \(G\) acting properly discontinuously and freely on \(G/H\) so that \(\Gamma\setminus G/H\) is compact in the quotient topology. The problem stated in the title is studied here and two (rather technical) necessary conditions are proved for the existence of a compact Clifford-Klein form of a given \(G/H\) of the reductive type.
