Notes on the group of \(S^ 1\) equivariant homeomorphisms (Q1918533)

Let \(P\) be a principal \(S^1\)-bundle over a compact manifold \(X\) with first Betti number \(b_1(X)=0\). The author studies the group \(\text{Homeo}_{S^1}(P)\) of \(S^1\) equivariant homeomorphisms of \(P\). In particular, let \(P_k\) be the principal \(S^1\)-bundle over \(\mathbb{C} P^n\) with \(c_1(P_k)=k\). Then Theorem. \(\pi_{2i+1}(\text{Homeo}_{S^1}(P_k))\) has a free part for \(i=0,1,\dots,n\). A similar result holds for \(S^3\)-bundles over \(\mathbb{H} P^n\).
