      The author shows that for each odd prime p there is a locally smoothable \({\mathbb{Z}}_ p\)-action on the Chern manifold Ch (which is homotopy equivalent to \({\mathbb{C}}P^ 2\) but admits no smooth structure). This is in so far interesting as he had shown in joint work with \textit{P. Vogel} that no such action exists for \(p=2\) [Asymmetric 4-dimensional manifolds, Duke Math. J. 53, 759-764 (1986)]. The proof uses standard techniques from topological surgery theory (which can be applied to dimension 4 by Freedman's work).
