Abstract: Let $G$ be a non-compact simple Lie group with Lie algebra $mathfrakg$. Denote with $m(mathfrakg)$ the dimension of the smallest non-trivial $mathfrakg$-module with an invariant non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form. For an irreducible finite volume pseudo-Riemannian analytic manifold $M$ it is observed that $dim(M)geqdim(G)+m(mathfrakg)$ when $M$ admits an isometric $G$-action with a dense orbit. The Main Theorem considers the case $G=widetilde{mathrmSO}_0(p,q)$ providing an explicit description of $M$ when the bound is achieved. In such case, $M$ is (up to a finite covering) the quotient by a lattice of either $widetilde{mathrmSO}_0(p+1,q)$ or $widetilde{mathrmSO}_0(p,q+1)$.
