This paper establishes an equivalence between existence of free involutions on HCP 3 and existence of involutions on S with fixed point set an imbedded S, then a family of counterexamples of the Smith conjecture for imbeddings of S in S are given by known result on HCP . In addition, this paper also shows that every smooth homotopy complex projective 3-space admits no orientation preserving smo...

متن کاملFree Involutions on Homotopy (4&+3)-spheres
In [ l ] Browder and Livesay defined an invariant a(Tt 2 ) £ 8 Z of a free differentiate involution T of a homotopy (4&+3)-sphere 2 , k>0. I t is the precise obstruction to finding an invariant (4&+2)sphere of the involution. In [5] and [ô] Medrano showed how to construct free involutions with arbitrary Browder-Livesay invariant on some homotopy (4&+3) -spheres and hence that there exist infini...
متن کاملAn Algorithm to List All the Fixed-Point Free Involutions on a Finite Set
A fixed-point free involution on a finite set S is defined as a bijection I : S → S such as ∀e ∈ S, I(I(e)) = e and ∀e ∈ S, I(e) 6= e. In this article, the fixed-point free involutions are represented as partitions of the set S, and some properties linked to this representation are exhibited. Then an optimal algorithm to list all the fixed-point free involutions is presented. Its soundess relie...
متن کاملFinite Group Actions on Kervaire Manifolds
Let M K be the Kervaire manifold: a closed, piecewise linear (PL) manifold with Kervaire invariant 1 and the same homology as the product S × S of spheres. We show that a finite group of odd order acts freely on M K if and only if it acts freely on S × S. If MK is smoothable, then each smooth structure on MK admits a free smooth involution. If k 6= 2 − 1, then M K does not admit any free TOP in...
