We obtain a general lower bound for the number of fixed points of a circle action on a compact almost complex manifold $M$ of dimension $2n$ with nonempty fixed point set, provided the Chern number $c_1c_{n-1}[M]$ vanishes. The proof…

Let the circle group act on a compact oriented manifold $M$ with a non-empty discrete fixed point set. Then the dimension of $M$ is even. If $M$ has one fixed point, $M$ is the point. In any even dimension, such a manifold $M$ with two…

Let $M=(M,\omega)$ be either the product $S^2\times S^2$ or the non-trivial $S^2$ bundle over $S^2$ endowed with any symplectic form $\omega$. Suppose a finite cyclic group $Z_n$ is acting effectively on $(M,\omega)$ through Hamiltonian…

We classify symplectic non-Hamiltonian circle actions on compact connected symplectic 4-manifolds, up to equivariant symplectomorphisms. Namely, we define a set of invariants, show that the set is complete, and determine which values are…

We show that the actions and indexes of fixed points of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many periodic points must satisfy certain relations, provided that the quantum cohomology of the ambient manifold meets an algebraic…

To classify a group action on a manifold, the data associated with the fixed point set is essential. In this paper, we classify the fixed point data of a circle action on a 6-dimensional compact connected oriented manifold with isolated…

A classical theorem of Frankel for compact K\"ahler manifolds states that a K\"ahler S^1-action is Hamiltonian if and only if it has fixed points. We prove a metatheorem which says that when Hodge theory holds on non-compact manifolds, then…

Recall that an effective circle action is semifree if the stabilizer subgroup of each point is connected. We show that if $(M, \om)$ is a coadjoint orbit of a compact Lie group $G$ then every element of $\pi_1(G)$ may be represented by a…

Let the compact torus $T^{n-1}$ act on a smooth compact manifold $X^{2n}$ effectively with nonempty finite set of fixed points. We pose the question: what can be said about the orbit space $X^{2n}/T^{n-1}$ if the action is cohomologically…
