A Clifford–Klein space form is a double coset space , where is a Lie group, a closed subgroup of , and a discrete subgroup of that acts properly discontinuously and freely on the homogeneous space .
The classical space forms are the cosets of the n-sphere or the Cartesian space or the hyperbolic space by discrete subgroups of their isometry group acting properly discontinuously (Carmo 92, chapt 8).
The properly discontinuous free quotients of n-spheres by discrete groups of isometries are also called spherical space forms. The classification of these was raised as an open problem by Killing 1891 and a complete solution was finally compiled by (Wolf 74). For more on this see at group actions on n-spheres.
