The authors prove the following theorem. Let M be a compact, connected 2n-manifold without boundary such that the Euler characteristic \(\chi\) (M)\(\neq 0\). Then every action of \({\mathbb{R}}^ p\) on M has orbits of dimension \(\leq n-1\). This generalizes Lima's result about common singularities of commuting vector fields on a compact surface.
