(𝑍₂)^{𝑘}-actions with fixed point set of constant codimension 2^{𝑘}+1 (Q4942927)

Let \(J^r_{n,k}\) be the group of cobordism classes in the unoriented cobordism group \(MO_n\) containing a representative \(M^n\) admitting a \((\mathbb{Z}_2)^k\)-action with fixed point set of constant codimension \(r\). Let \(\chi :MO_* \to\mathbb{Z}_2\) denote the mod 2 Euler characteristic and \(D_n\) the set of decomposable classes \([M^n]\) in \(MO_n\). The authors determine the groups \(J^{2^k +1}_{n,k}\): Theorem 1. For \(k\geq 4\) (1) \(J^{2^k+1}_{n,k}= MO_2\cap \ker\chi\) for \(n\geq 2^k+2\); (2) \(J^{2^k+1}_{n,k}=D_n\cap \ker \chi\) for \(n=2^k+2\). Other theorems provide the calculation when \(k=3\) and \(k=2\). For \(1\leq r\leq 2^k\) the calculations were carried out before.
