RT Journal Article T1 Smooth actions of connected compact Lie groups with a free point are determined by two vector fields A1 Turiel-Sandín, Francisco Javier A1 Viruel-Arbaizar, Antonio Ángel K1 Algebra de vectores AB Consider a smooth action of a compact connected Lie group G on a connected manifold M. Assume the existence of a point of M whose isotropy group has a single element (a free point). Then we prove that there exist two complete vector field such that their group of automorphisms equals G regarded as a group of diffeomorphisms of M (the existence of a free point implies that the action of G is effective). Moreover, some examples of effective actions with no free point where this result fails are exhibited.
