Abstract

The above title is the same, but with "semisimple" instead of "simple," as that of a notice by N. Kowalsky. There, she announced many theorems on the subject of actions of simple Lie groups preserving a Lorentz structure. Unfortunately, she published proofs for essentially only half of the announced results before her premature death. Here, using a different, geometric approach, we generalize her results to the semisimple case, and give proofs of all her announced results.
