Finite Abelian actions on surfaces

From MaRDI portal





The paper under review studies finite Abelian actions on surfaces, which is directly associated with the study of the oriented bordism group \(\Omega_2(G)\) (an equivariant analog of the Thom oriented bordism group) for a finite Abelian group \(G\). Given a closed connected oriented surface \(M\), any action of \(G\) on \(M\) is assumed to be orientation-preserving and free. By a theorem of Edmonds, two such actions are equivariantly orientation-preserving diffeomorphic if and only if they have the same bordism class in \(\Omega_2(G)\). The main result of the paper gives a formula for the number of bordism classes of all such actions on \(M\).
