To every we can associate a vector field on by
Let be the flow of with time . Then we define the action of on by
where . One can check that such an action is well defined and transitive. Then, defined as
is a closed discrete subgroup of , i.e. a lattice. From the properness of it follows that is maximal (in particular homomorphic to ) and that is diffeomorphic to . ∎
