Abstract

In this paper we define an action of a Lie algebra on a smooth manifold. We get nearly the same results as those for group actions, when the flows of the symmetry vector fields are complete. We show that the orbit space of a Lie algebra action is a differential space. We discuss differential spaces occuring in the reduction of symmetries in integrable Hamiltonian systems.
