We given that
is some group of homeomorphism, whose action on the manifold
is
properly discontinuous and free. We have to prove that the quotient
space
is again a manifold.
Suppose,
is the
quotient map.
First let us observe the following. Suppose for
we choose some locally euclidean neighborhood
.
Now say for some non-identity element
, we have that
. Since the action is free, we have that
. Since
is
Hausdorff, shrinking the neighborhood if necessary, we can assume
that
. Now
since
is locally euclidean, it is in particular locally compact. So we
can find another euclidean neighborhood
such that the closure
is compact
and
. Then we see that,
, which is open in
, as
is
closed. Then we can find some euclidean neighborhood
. Consider the open set
.
Clearly,
and we can find some euclidean neighborhood
. Then by construction we have,
and as
, we get
.
Now we prove that is in fact locally
euclidean and Hausdorff. Say,
. Then
is an
equivalence class of some
. Get some
locally euclidean neighborhood
such that
is compact.
Since the action is properly discontinuous, we have that there are
finitely many elements, say,
such that
. Now, if
, by the preceding observation we can get some euclidean
neighborhood
such that
. If
,
then we set
. Consider
. Since this is a finite intersection, it is open.
Get some euclidean neighborhood
. Then by construction we have,
for every
.
Then we see that
are disjoint
from each other for every
. Now, set
. Then
is an open set. So,
is an open neighborhood
of
.
Also,
clearly a homeomorphism and hence
is in fact an euclidean
neighborhood of
. Thus,
is locally
euclidean.
Now to show that is Hausdorff.
Suppose,
. Say,
for
.
Clearly,
for any
. As before we
can get neighborhoods,
, where
. Now since
is Hausdorff, we can
get
such that
. Then the images
and they are open, since
. Thus,
is Hausdorff.
Hence we have proved, is a manifold.
Hope this helps. Comment if you need further clarifications. Cheers!
