    Let \(G\) be non trivial compact Lie group and let \(S(U)\) and \(S(V)\) be the unit spheres in non-zero orthogonal \(G\) modules \(U\) and \(V\) such that the fixed submodules \(U^{G}\) and \(V^{G}\) are trivial. \textit{I. Nagasaki} [J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 21, No. 1, Paper No. 16, 14 p. (2019; Zbl 1407.55001) and Topology Appl. 319, Article ID 108216, 15 p. (2022; Zbl 1505.55004)] proved using equivariant obstruction theory that there exists a \(G\)-map \(\phi : S(U)\to S(V)\) in which \(\dim U > \dim V\) for any group \(G\) which is not the torus or an elementary abelian \(p\)-group, for a prime \(p\). In this paper the author gives some explicit examples of such maps.
