A Remark about Dihedral Group Actions on Spheres
We show that a finite dihedral group does not act pseudofreely and locally linearly on an even-dimensional sphere S, with k > 1. This answers a question of R. S. Kulkarni from 1982.
متن کاملBounded Surgery and Dihedral Group Actions on Spheres
If a finite group G acts freely and simplicially on a complex homotopy equivalent to a sphere S, then G has periodic Tate cohomology: H (G;Z) ∼= H (G;Z) for all i > 0. Swan proved in [26] that this condition was also sufficient. For free topological actions on S itself, the first additional restriction is: Theorem. [19] A finite dihedral group does not act freely and topologically on S. Milnor’...
متن کاملGroup actions on homology spheres
This can be stated in a more symmetric manner. Let r be any positive integer not equal to 3. Then n acts freely and homologically trivially on Z r i ff n acts freely and homologically trivially on SL In fact, there is a one-to-one correspondence between such actions on U and such actions on S r. (The classification of such actions is discussed in w In addition the actions constructed have the p...
متن کاملPseudofree Group Actions on Spheres
R. S. Kulkarni showed that a finite group acting pseudofreely, but not freely, preserving orientation, on an even-dimensional sphere (or suitable sphere-like space) is either a periodic group acting semifreely with two fixed points, a dihedral group acting with three singular orbits, or one of the polyhedral groups, occurring only in dimension 2. It is shown here that the dihedral group does no...
متن کاملSome Cyclic Group Actions on Homotopy Spheres
In [4J Orlik defined a free cyclic group action on a homotopy sphere constructed as a Brieskorn manifold and proved the following theorem: THEOREM. Every odd-dimensional homotopy sphere that bounds a para-llelizable manifold admits a free Zp-action for each prime p. On the other hand, it was shown ([3J) that there exists a free Zp-action on a 2n-1 dimensional homotopy sphere so that its orbit s...
