Abstract: Let $G$ be a compact Hausdorff topological group acting on a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$. Within the $C^{\ast }$-algebra $C(X)$ of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, there is the Peter-Weyl algebra $mathcal{P}_G(X)$ which is the (purely algebraic) direct sum of the isotypical components for the action of $G$ on $C(X)$. We prove that the action of $G$ on $X$ is free if and only if the canonical map $mathcal{P}_G(X)otime{s}_{C(X/G)}mathcal{P}_G(X)omathcal{P}_G(X)otimesmathcalO(G)$ is bijective. Here both tensor products are purely algebraic, and $mathcalO(G)$ denotes the Hopf algebra of "polynomial" functions on $G$.
