More generally, if X is an infinite-dimensional Banach space and F is a closed subspace of X such that there is a real-analytic seminorm on X whose set of zeros is F, and X / F is infinite-dimensional, then X and X \ F are real-analytic diffeomorphic. As an application we show the existence of real-analytic free actions of the circle and the n-torus on certain Banach spaces %~
