Proper smooth G-manifolds have complete G-invariant Riemannian metrics

Assume G is a Lie group, K is a compact subgroup of G and M is a proper smooth G-manifold. Using properties of the regular representations L2(G) and L2(K), we first prove results about extending certain representations and embedding homogeneous spaces smoothly into Hilbert G-spaces. We then prove that M can be embedded as a closed smooth G-invariant submanifold of some Hilbert G-space. It follows that M admits a complete G-invariant smooth Riemannian metric.
