Completing Lie algebra actions to Lie group actions

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

For a finite dimensional Lie algebra \g\g of vector fields on a manifold MM we show that MM can be completed to a GG-space in a unversal way, which however is neither Hausdorff nor T1T_1 in general. Here GG is a connected Lie group with Lie-algebra \g\g. For a transitive \g\g-action the completion is of the form G/HG/H for a Lie subgroup HH which need not be closed. In general the completion can be constructed by completing each \g\g-orbit.
