abstract
We solve the long standing problem of classification of standard compact Clifford-Klein forms of homogeneous spaces of simple non-compact real Lie groups under the extra assumption that $G$, $H$, $L$ are simple and absolutely simple. Then the result is that standard compact Clifford-Klein forms always arise from triples $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{h},\mathfrak{l})$ of real Lie algebras such that $\mathfrak{h}\subset\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{l}\subset\mathfrak{g}$, $\mathfrak{g}$ is simple and absolutely simple, $\mathfrak{h},\mathfrak{l}$ are (non-compact) reductive, $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{h}+\mathfrak{l}$, and the intersection $\mathfrak{h}\cap\mathfrak{l}$ is compact. The consequence of this is the following characterization of proper co-compact actions of reductive Lie subgroups $L\subset G$ on a homogeneous spaces $G/H$ determined by absolutely simple real Lie group $G$ and a closed reductive subgroup $H$: $L$ acts on $G/H$ properly and co-compactly if and only if $G=H\cdot L$ and $H\cap L$ is compact.

Deformations of Standard Locally Homogeneous Spaces
Standard locally homogeneous spaces are classified by when their discrete groups are rigid, deform to nonstandard groups, or deform to Zariski-dense subgroups.
