Appendix to P. Mizerka's theorem (Q6046557): Difference between revisions

The study of homology spheres is an important topic in topology. The author mainly focuses on the effective smooth action of TL(2,5) on homology spheres. Following the work of \textit{P. Mizerka} [Osaka J. Math. 60, No. 1, 1--14 (2023; Zbl 1510.57029)], the author proves that (1) there never exists an effective smooth action of TL(2,5) on a homology sphere of dimension 21, with exactly one fixed point; (2) If an effective smooth action of TL(2,5) on a homology sphere has only one fixed point, then the tangential representation contains an irreducible TL(2,5)-subrepresentation of dimension 6.
