The quotient-manifold characterization of Banach–Lie subgroups

Let GG be a Banach–Lie group and let HH be a closed subgroup. The quotient set G/HG/H is formed from the left cosets gHgH, and the quotient map is

qGG/H,ggH.q \: G \to G/H,\qquad g\mapsto gH.

A closed subgroup HH of a Banach–Lie group GG is a Banach–Lie subgroup when it is a Banach–Lie group with respect to the subspace topology. Quotient-manifold characterization. The subgroup HH is a Banach–Lie subgroup if and only if G/HG/H carries the structure of a Banach manifold such that the quotient map qq has surjective differential at every point and the action of GG on G/HG/H is smooth. This would provide a criterion for recognizing general closed subgroups as Banach–Lie subgroups, extending the corresponding characterization known for closed normal subgroups.
