Abstract: We show that every rank two $p$-group acts freely and smoothly on a product of two spheres. This follows from a more general construction: given a smooth action of a finite group $G$ on a manifold $M$, we construct a smooth free action on $$ when the set of isotropy subgroups of the $G$-action on $M$ can be associated to a fusion system satisfying certain properties. Another consequence of this construction is that if $G$ is an (almost) extra-special $p$-group of rank $r$, then it acts freely and smoothly on a product of $r$ spheres.
