It's not a big deal. If you really aren't using it, then maybe send it along sometime. I've enjoyed reading many of your comments here on MO. | |

I haven't finished it yet, but after 13 years I am beginning to think that it may take me a little while to get to it. Would you like it back? | |

Especially interested in the non-compact case, as compared to actions on S^n? Especially interested in aspects unique to smoothness? As a starter you might try to check out Bredon's book, Introduction to Compact Transformation Groups, and some constructions in Chapter I, Secs. 7-8. | |
