Abstract
For an odd prime , we consider free actions of on given by linear actions of on . Simple examples include a lens space cross a lens space, but -invariant calculations show that other quotients exist. Using the tools of Postnikov towers and surgery theory, the quotients are classified up to homotopy by the -invariants and up to homeomorphism by the Pontrjagin classes. We will present these results and demonstrate how to calculate the -invariants and the Pontrjagin classes from the rotation numbers.
