Mar 10, 2019 at 0:45 comment added L.F. Cavenaghi I have edited the question in order to encompass $S$ to it, it would be extremely helpful if you explain to me your thoughts on why $S$ has a chance to be a submanifold.

Mar 10, 2019 at 0:11 comment added Steve Costenoble My first reaction is that, yes, $S$ will be a submanifold. In fact, an open submanifold: If $p\in S$ then all points in an open neighborhood of $p$ should also satisfy your new condition. Essentially, a neighborhood of $p$ will look like $T_p M$ with the action of $G_p$.
Mar 9, 2019 at 23:13 comment added L.F. Cavenaghi what if we change a little bit my definition by asking the following: $S = \{p \in M : \exists 0 \neq X \in \mathcal {H}_p \subset T_pM : G_X = G_p\}$? Now I ask if such $S$ is a submanifold of $M$, where $\cal H_p$ is the space $g$-orthogonal to $T_pG\cdot p$.
