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…

In this paper, we classify the fixed point data (weights and signs at the fixed points), of a circle action on a 6-dimensional compact oriented manifold with 4 fixed points. We prove that it agrees with that of a disjoint union of rotations…

In the present paper, we consider an action of the circle group on a compact oriented 4-manifold. We derive the Atiyah-Hirzebruch formula for the manifold, and associate a graph in terms of data on the fixed point set. We show in the case…

Let a torus act on a compact oriented manifold $M$ with isolated fixed points, with an additional mild assumption that its isotropy submanifolds are orientable. We associate a signed labeled multigraph encoding the fixed point data (weights…

Let the circle act on a compact almost complex manifold $M$. In this paper, we classify the fixed point data of the action if there are 4 fixed points and the dimension of the manifold is at most 6. First, if $\dim M=2$, then $M$ is a…

For an action of the circle group $S^1$ on a compact oriented manifold with isolated fixed points, there is a claim that weights at the fixed points occur in pairs. This phenomenon holds for other types of $S^1$-manifolds, e.g., (almost)…

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…

The author proved that if the circle acts symplectically on a compact, connected symplectic manifold $M$ with three fixed points, then $M$ is equivariantly symplectomorphic to some standard action on $\mathbb{CP}^2$. In this paper, we…

Let the circle act in a Hamiltonian fashion on a compact symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$ of dimension $2n$. Then the $S^1$-action has at least $n+1$ fixed points. We study the case when the fixed point set consists of precisely $n+1$…

Consider a circle action on an 8-dimensional compact almost complex manifold with 4 fixed points. To the author's knowledge, $S^2 \times S^6$ is the only known example of such a manifold. In this paper, we prove that if the circle acts on…

If the circle acts in a Hamiltonian way on a compact symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$, then there are at least $n+1$ fixed points. The case that there are exactly $n+1$ isolated fixed points has its importance due to various reasons.…

We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for pairs of integers to arise as the weights at the fixed points of an effective circle action on a compact almost complex 4-manifold with a discrete fixed point set. As an application, we…

This paper is concerned with fixed-point free $S^1$-actions (smooth or locally linear) on orientable 4-manifolds. We show that the fundamental group plays a predominant role in the equivariant classification of such 4-manifolds. In…

In this paper, we study fixed-point sets of $S^{1}$-actions and compatible complex structures on quaternionic manifolds. We obtain an equation involving the first Chern classes of the fixed-point set and of a quaternionically flat manifold…

We study smooth, closed orientable $S^1$-manifolds $M$ with exactly $3$ fixed points. We show that the dimension of $M$ is of the form $4\cdot 2^a$ or $8\cdot(2^a+2^b)$ with $a,b\geq 0$ and $a\neq b$. Moreover, under the extra assumption…

Over 50 years of work on group actions on $4$-manifolds, from the 1960's to the present, from knotted fixed point sets to Seiberg-Witten invariants, is surveyed. Locally linear actions are emphasized, but differentiable and purely…

It is well-known by the work of Hsiang and Kleiner that every closed oriented positively curved 4-dimensional manifold with an effective isometric S^1-action is homeomorphic to S^4 or CP^2. As stated, it is a topological classification. The…
