The main theorem of this paper is: A finite group \(G\) of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of a homology 3-sphere is either (1) solvable or (2) it has a unique composition factor which is not cyclic: this composition factor is isomorphic to \(\text{ PSL}(2,q)\) for \(q\) an odd prime. In case (1), the author shows the behavior of cyclic subgroups of \(G\) and in case (2), the author shows more details about normal subgroups of \(G\) and the action of \(\text{ PSL}(2,q)\).
