Abstract
Let the circle group act on a compact oriented manifold with a non-empty discrete fixed point set. Then the dimension of is even. If has one fixed point, is the point. In any even dimension, such a manifold with two fixed points exists, a rotation of an even dimensional sphere. Suppose that has three fixed points. Then the dimension of is a multiple of 4. Under the assumption that each isotropy submanifold is orientable, we show that if , then the weights at the fixed points agree with those of an action on the quaternionic projective space , and show that there is no such 12-dimensional manifold .
