We prove that the isometry group ℑ() of an arbitrary Riemannian orbifold, endowed with the compact-open topology, is a Lie group acting smoothly and properly on. Moreover, ℑ() admits a unique smooth structure that makes it into a Lie group. We show in particular that the isometry group of each compact Riemannian orbifold with a negative definite Ricci tensor is finite, thus generalizing the well-known Bochner’s theorem for Riemannian manifolds.
