Antonyan" ], "comment": "In the proof of Proposition 3.1 of the previous version there is a small gap. To correct the gap, at the end of the proof (now Proposition 3.2) one should just reference to a newly added Lemma 3.1 for the fact that Ux is a G-small set.

We show that the natural action of G on X is proper in the sense of R. Palais. This is applied to prove that there exists a closed set F of X such that FG=X and the restriction of the quotient projection X -> X/G to F is a perfect map F -> X/G. This is a key result to prove that many topological properties (among them, paracompactness and normality) are transferred from X to ferred from X/G to X. Yet another application leads to the inequality dim X<= dim X/G + dim G for every paracompact group X and its locally compact subgroup G.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-08-31T23:17:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22A05", "54H11" ], "keywords": [ "quotient spaces", "proper actions", "locally compact subgroup", "application", "hausdorff topological group" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "Proc.
