Abstract: We describe the structure of $d$-dimensional homogeneous Lorentzian $G$-manifolds $M=G/H$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. Due to a result by N. Kowalsky, it is sufficient to consider the case when the group $G$ acts properly, that is the stabilizer $H$ is compact. Then any homogeneous space $$ with a smaller group $$ admits an invariant Lorentzian metric. A homogeneous manifold $G/H$ with a connected compact stabilizer $H$ is called a minimal admissible manifold if it admits an invariant Lorentzian metric, but no homogeneous $G$-manifold $G/ildeH$ with a larger connected compact stabilizer $ildeHsupsetH$ admits such a metric. We give a description of minimal homogeneous Lorentzian $n$-dimensional $G$-manifolds $M=G/H$ of a simple (compact or noncompact) Lie group $G$. For $nleq11$, we obtain a list of all such manifolds $M$ and describe invariant Lorentzian metrics on $M$.
