Abstract

Suppose a finite group GG acts on a manifold MM. By a theorem of Mostow, also Palais, there is a GG-equivariant embedding of MM into the mm-dimensional Euclidean space \RRm\RR^{m} for some mm. We are interested in some explicit bounds of such mm. First we provide an upper bound: there exists a GG-equivariant embedding of MM into \RRdG+1\RR^{d|G|+1}, where G|G| is the order of GG and MM embeds into \RRd\RR^d. Next we provide a lower bound for finite cyclic group action GG: If there are ll points having pairwise co-prime lengths of GG-orbits greater than 11 and there is a GG-equivariant embedding of MM into \RRm\RR^{m}, then m2lm\ge 2l. Some applications to surfaces are given.
