Nonsmoothable group actions on spin 4-manifolds

Geometric Topology 2014-10-01 v3

Abstract

We show that every closed, simply connected, spin topological 4-manifold except S4S^4 and S2×S2S^2\times S^2 admits a homologically trivial, pseudofree, locally linear action of Zp\mathbb{Z}_p for any sufficiently large prime number pp which is nonsmoothable for any possible smooth structure.
