    added a general abstract definition of slices as those HH-subspace inclusions whose GG-induced action adjunct is an isomorphism.

    (I have never seen an author admit this, but that’s evidently the right abstract definition.)

    Also added an Idea-section.

    Under Def 2.1

    Then a slice in a GG-action UU

    That should be ’HH-slice’?

    We hadn’t yet heard the term on this page. It’s the same as ’slice through GG-orbits modulo HH’ earlier?

    Is there a way to see Cauchy surface as such a thing?

    I see, okay I made it say “H-slice” in Def. 2.1.

    And yes, if time evolution on some manifold is already given as an 1\mathbb{R}^1-action with timelike flow lines, then slices for this action (“1-slices”) are Cauchy surfaces!

    I won’t edit further right now, since I am just on my phone at the moment, but we could add this as an example.

    added a warning that Palais’s definition of “proper action” is not quite the usual one, unless some extra conditions are met.

    Will straighten this out tomorrow. Have to call it quits now.

    Okay, I have added to the statement of the theorem the condition that XX be locally compact, and then added a Remark (here) that Palais61 goes to some trouble to generalize away from this assumption by carefully adjusting the definition of proper action.

    But I won’t go down that road now, will assume local compactness and keep fingers crossed that this won’t bite me later.

    added pointer to:

    This has a proof that for SS an HH-slice, then G×SGSG \times S \to G \cdot S is an open map.

    I had been looking for this statement, since it implies that for SS a slice through some point, also its intersection with any open neighbourhood of the point is still a slice through the point. This is used without comment in Lashof’s “Equivariant bundles and I fail to see how it doesn’t require an argument. Such as Antonyan’s.

    I have added a new section “Examples and Applications – Principal bundles” (here), with proof that free proper actions of Lie groups on locally compact Hausdorff spaces have quotient coprojections which are principal bundles.

    Made explicit (here) the trivial but important example that GG-slices through points whose stabilizer is the entire equivariance group GG are given by the entire GG-space.

    Used this to complete the following example (here) of slices through points in the canonical O(n+1)O(n+1)-action on n+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}.
