Fixed point data of finite groups acting on 3-manifolds (Q1408562)

The author considers fully effective orientation-preserving smooth actions of a given finite group \(G\) on smooth, closed, oriented 3-manifolds \(M\). He investigates the relations that necessarily hold between the numbers of fixed points of various non-cyclic subgroups. Moreover, he restates a theorem of A. Szücs asserting that under the conditions imposed on a smooth action of \(G\) on \(M\) as above, the number of \(G\)-orbits of points \(x\in M\) with non-cyclic stabilizer \(G_x\) is even, and he determines all the equations for non-cyclic subgroups \(G\) of \(SO(3)\).
