Abstract
Let be the closed orientable surface of genus . We address the problem to extend torsion elements of the mapping class group over the 4-sphere . Let be a torsion element of maximum order in . Results including: (1) For each , is periodically extendable over for some non-smooth embedding , and not periodically extendable over for any smooth embedding . (2) For each , is extendable over for some smooth embedding if and only if . (3) Each torsion element of order in is extendable over for some smooth embedding if either (i) and is even; or (ii) and ; or (iii) . Moreover the conditions on in (i) and (ii) can not be removed .
