Closedness of the Tangent Spaces to the Orbits of Proper Actions
Journal of Lie theory, Tome 18 (2008) no. 3, pp. 517-521
We show that for any proper action of a Banach-Lie group $G$ on a Banach manifold $M$, the corresponding tangent maps ${\frak g} \to T_x(M)$ have closed range for each $x \in M$, i.e., the tangent spaces of the orbits are closed. As a consequence, for each free proper action on a Hilbert manifold, the quotient $M/G$ carries a natural manifold structure.
