Abstract
We determine the homotopy type of quotients of by free actions of where . Much like free actions, they can be classified via the first -localized -invariant, but there are restrictions on the possibilities, and these restrictions are sufficient to determine every possibility in the case. We use this to complete the classification of free actions on , for , by reducing the problem to the simultaneous classification of pairs of binary quadratic forms. Although the restrictions are not sufficient to determine which -invariants are realizable in general, they can sometimes be used to rule out free actions by groups that contain as a normal Abelian subgroup.
