Abstract: Montgomery-Yang problem predicts that every pseudofree differentiable circle action on the 5-dimensional sphere has at most 3 non-free orbits. Using a certain one-to-one correspondence, Koll'ar formulated the algebraic version of the Montgomery-Yang problem: every projective surface $S$ with the second Betti number $b_2(S)=1$ and with quotient singularities only has at most 3 singular points if its smooth locus $S^0$ is simply-connected. In a previous paper, we have confirmed the conjecture when $S$ has at least one non-cyclic quotient singularity. In this paper, we prove the conjecture either when $S$ is not rational or when $-K_S$ is ample.
