Abstract

We consider a purely algebraic result. Then given a circle or cyclic group of prime order action on a manifold, we will use it to estimate the lower bound of the number of fixed points. We also give an obstruction to the existence of Zp\mathbb{Z}_p action on manifolds with isolated fixed points when pp is a prime.
