On locally homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian compact Einstein manifolds

Abstract

We ask a general question: what are locally homogeneous compact pseudo-Riemannian Einstein manifolds? We show that any standard compact Clifford–Klein form of a simple non-compact Lie group admits at least one Einstein metric. We conjecture that these are basically the only possible locally homogeneous Einstein Riemannian compact manifolds using T. Kobayashi’s conjecture as a guiding principle.
