Abstract: We consider fully effective orientation-preserving smooth actions of a given finite group G on smooth, closed, oriented 3-manifolds M. We investigate the relations that necessarily hold between the numbers of fixed points of various non-cyclic subgroups. In Section 2, we show that all such relations are in fact equations mod 2, and we explain how the number of independent equations yields information concerning low-dimensional equivariant cobordism groups. Moreover, we restate a theorem of A. Szucs 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 we prove the result by using arguments of G. Moussong. In Sections 3 and 4, we determine all the equations for non-cyclic subgroups G of SO(3).

Review text

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 \(SO(3)\).
