Semifree Actions of Finite Groups on Homotopy Spheres
We show that for any finite group the group of semifree actions on homotopy spheres of some fixed even dimension is finite, provided that the dimension of the fixed point set is greater than 2. The argument shows that for such an action the normal bundle to the fixed point set is equivariantly, stably trivial. 0. Introduction. A group G is said to act semifreely on a space X if every point is e...
متن کاملBalanced Splittings of Semi-free Actions on Homotopy Spheres
n+k Let 23 be a hornotopy (n+k)-sphere and p : G)< ~E~-2] a smooth semi-free action of a finite group G on 23 with fixed-point set a manifold F n of dimension no A decomposition of 23 into two G-invariant disks will be called a splitting of the action and the induced splitting of 2] G denoted F = FI<9 F 2. We ask whether every such action has a splitting with Hi(F1) ~Hi(F2) for i> 0 (these are ...
متن کاملThe Existence of Free Metacyclic Actions on Homotopy Spheres
This question is rather old [3]: Which groups having periodic cohomology can act freely on some homotopy sphere? The first nontrivial restriction was supplied by Milnor in [3]. Every element of order two must lie in the center. Swan [ô] showed that any group with periodic cohomology acts freely on a c.w. complex of the homotopy type of sphere. If the group has odd order then it is metacyclic. T...
متن کاملA Note on Properly Discontinuous Actions
This note is meant to clarify the relation between different commonly used definitions of proper discontinuity without the local compactness assumption for the underlying topological space. Much of the discussion applies to actions of nondiscrete topological groups, but, since my primary interest is geometric group theory, I will work only with discrete groups. Throughout this note, I will be w...
متن کاملDecomposability of Homotopy Lens Spaces and Free Cyclic Group Actions on Homotopy Spheres
Let p be a linear Zn action on C and let p also denote the induced Z„ action on S2p~l x D2q, D2p x S2q~l and S2p~l x S2q~l " 1m_1 where p = [m/2] and q = m — p. A free differentiable Zn action (£ , ju) on a homotopy sphere is p-decomposable if there is an equivariant diffeomorphism of (S2p~l x S2q~l, p) such that (S2m_1, ju) is equivalent to (£(*), ¿(*)) where S(*) = S2p_1 x D2q U^, D2p x S...
