Rank Three p-Group Actions on Products of Spheres

Algebraic Topology 2017-05-17 v3

Abstract

Let p be an odd prime. We prove that every rank three p-group acts freely and smoothly on a product of three spheres. To construct this action, we first prove a generalization of a theorem of L\" uck and Oliver on constructions of G-equivariant vector bundles. We also give some other applications of this generalization.
