Abstract

Let the circle act on a compact almost complex manifold MM. 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 dimM=2\dim M=2, then MM is a disjoint union of rotations on two 2-spheres. Second, if dimM=4\dim M=4, we prove that the action alikes a circle action on a Hirzebruch surface. Finally, if dimM=6\dim M=6, we prove that six types occur for the fixed point data; CP3\mathbb{CP}^3 type, complex quadric in CP4\mathbb{CP}^4 type, Fano 3-fold type, S6S6S^6 \cup S^6 type, and two unknown types that might possibly be realized as blow ups of a manifold like S6S^6. When dimM=6\dim M=6, we recover the result by Ahara in which the fixed point data is determined if furthermore Todd(M)=1\mathrm{Todd}(M)=1 and c13(M)[M]0c_1^3(M)[M] \neq 0, and the result by Tolman in which the fixed point data is determined if furthermore the base manifold admits a symplectic structure and the action is Hamiltonian.
