EMENTA
1. Lie groups and Lie algebra actions on manifolds

- Lie groups and Lie algebras: definitions, examples. Exponential map. Statement of integrability results.

- Actions of Lie groups and Lie algebras on manifolds: definition, examples (guiding example throughout the course: adjoint action of Lie group on its Lie algebra). Basic invariants: isotropy Lie group/Lie algebra and isotropy representation, orbit, orbit space. Orbits of Lie group actions are initial submanifolds. Integrability of Lie algebra actions.

- Proper actions: orbit spaces are Hausdorff.

2. Proper Lie group actions on manifolds

- Free and proper actions: principal bundles, statement of Godement's criterion for quotients, equivalence between free and proper actions of Lie groups on manifolds and principal bundles. Examples: projective spaces, flag manifolds, Stiefel manifolds.

- Linearisation results: Bochner linearisation theorem, existence of slices, tube theorem.

3. Differential topology of orbit spaces of proper actions

- Smooth structure via invariant functions, existence of invariant Riemannian metrics. Schwarz's theorem on invariant functions*.

- Orbit type stratification theorem: definition of orbit types, definition of Whitney stratification. Orbit types give a Whitney stratification of the orbit space.

- Regular and principal orbits: the principal orbit theorem.

- Desingularisation of proper actions: blowing up.

4. Application: compact Lie groups

- Develop as much of the theory of compact Lie groups and compact Lie algebras using the tools developed in the course.

*Time permitting.
