Proper isometric actions

Differential Geometry 2008-11-05 v1

Abstract

We prove the following to results: (1) A subgroup G of the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold M acts properly on M if and only if G is closed in the isometry group of M. (2) The orbits of an isometric action are closed if and only if the action is orbit equivalent to a proper isometric action.
