In this paper, we want to construct a one-to-one correspondence from the set of diffeomorphism classes of spin $d$-twisted homology $\mc P^3$ to the set of isotopy classes of the embedding from $S^3$ to $S^6$, which is a generalization of…

This paper establishes an equivalence between existence of free involutions on $H{\Bbb C}P^3$ and existence of involutions on $S^6$ with fixed point set an imbedded $S^3$, then a family of counterexamples of the Smith conjecture for…

In this article, we classify all involutions on S^6 with 3-dimensional fixed point set. In particular, we discuss the relation between the classification of involutions with fixed point set a knotted 3-sphere and the classification of free…

In this paper, we classify smooth 5-manifolds with fundamental group isomorphic to $\z/2$ and universal cover diffeomorphic to $S^2 \times S^3$. This gives a classification of smooth free involutions on $S^2 \times S^3$ up to conjugation.

In the paper of Montgomery, D. and Yang, C.T. [5], they discuss the de-suspension of smooth free actions of S1 on (2n+1)-dimensional homotopy spheres. In this paper we discuss the de-suspension of smooth free actions of S3 on (4n +…

Let $X$ be a finitistic space having the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the product of two projective spaces. We study free involutions on $X$ and determine the possible mod 2 cohomology algebra of orbit space of any free involution, using the…

Let G = Z2 act on a finite CW-complex X having mod 2 cohomology isomorphic to the product of quaternionic projective space and sphere HPn x Sm, n, m > or = 1. This paper is concerned with the connected fixed point sets and the orbit spaces…

Let $G=\mathbb{Z}_2$ act on a finite CW-complex $X$ having mod 2 cohomology isomorphic to the product of projective space and sphere $\mathbb{F}P^n\times \mathbb{S}^m,$ where $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}.$ In this paper, we have…

In this article, we show the existence of conjugations on many simply-connected spin 6-manifolds with free integral cohomology. In a certain class the only condition on X^6 to admit a conjugation with fixed point set M^3 is the obvious one:…

We define an invariant of triple-point-free immersions of $2$-spheres into Euclidean $3$-space, taking values in $l^1(\mathbb{Z})$. It remains unchanged under regular homotopies through such immersions. An explicit description of its image…

An involutive diffeomorphism $\sigma$ of a connected smooth manifold $M$ is called dissecting if the complement of its fixed point set is not connected. Dissecting involutions on a complete Riemannian manifold are closely related to…

Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be closed connected orientable $3$-manifolds. We classify the sets of smooth and piecewise linear isotopy classes of embeddings $M_1\sqcup M_2\rightarrow S^6$.

Topological free involutions on S^1xS^n are classified up to conjugation. As a byproduct we obtain a new computation of the group of concordance classes of homeomorphisms of the projective space RP^n.

Mutation is an operation on 3-manifolds containing an embedded surface of genus 2. It is defined by cutting along the surface and regluing using the `hyperelliptic' involution, and is known to preserve many 3-manifold invariants. I show…

We develop a complete obstruction theory for the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-index of a compact connected 4-dimensional manifold with free involution. This $\mathbb{Z}_2$-index, equal to the minimum integer $n$ for which there exists an equivariant map…

We classify four-dimensional connected simply-connected indecomposable Lorentzian symmetric spaces $M$ with connected nontrivial isotropy group furnishing solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations. Those solutions with respect to some…

Let $X$ be a finitistic space with the mod 2 cohomology of the product space of a projective space and a 4-sphere. Assume that $X$ admits a free involution. In this paper we study the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the quotient of $X$ by the…

Given a (projective) conifold transition of smooth projective threefolds from $X$ to $Y$, we show that if the Gromov--Witten/Pandharipande--Thomas descendent correspondence holds for the resolution $Y$, then it also holds for the smoothing…

Montgomery-Yang problem predicts that every pseudofree differentiable circle action on the 5-dimensional sphere ${\mathbb S}^5$ has at most 3 non-free orbits. Using a certain one-to-one correspondence, Koll\'ar formulated the algebraic…
