Abstract: This is the second in a series of papers. Here we develop here an intersection theory for manifolds equipped with an action of a finite group. As in our previous paper, our approach will be homotopy theoretic, enabling us to circumvent the specter of equivariant transversality. This theory has applications to embedding problems, equivariant fixed point theory and the problem of enumerating the periodic points of a self map of a compact smooth manifold.

Review text

In another paper [Geom. Topol. 11, 939--977 (2007; Zbl 1132.57024)], the authors studied the intersection problem for compact smooth manifolds \(N\) equipped with a closed submanifold \(Q\) and produced an obstruction whose vanishing is necessary for the existence of a solution for this problem. Here, equivariant intersection problems are considered for manifolds \(N\) under the assumption that the above manifolds are equipped with smooth \(G\)-actions, for a finite group \(G\) and \(Q\) is a \(G\)-submanifold. So, a complete obstruction, living in some cohomology, to solving equivariant intersection problems in the equivariant metastable range is given. Also, the existence of an obstruction living in some special \(G\)-bordism group is proved. Applications of this theory to embedding problems, equivariant fixed point problems and the study of periodic points of self maps are given.
