About the homotopy type of diffeomorphism groups

In this paper by Antonelli, Burghelea and Kahn (Topology, 1972), a homomorphism $L :\pi_i(\operatorname{Diff}(S^n, D_+^{n})) \rightarrow \Gamma^{n+i+1}$ was used as a tool to detect non-triviality of …

Proper actions and diffeomorphism groups

Since the diffeomorphism group is not locally compact; is it true that there is no proper action of an infinite-dimensional diffeomorphism group on a finite-dimensional smooth manifold? Edit: The gr …
