Abstract: For a prime number qeq2 and r>0 we study, whether there exists an isometry of order qr acting on a free mathbbZpk-module equipped with a scalar product. We investigate, whether there exists such an isometry with no non-zero fixed points. Both questions are completely answered in this paper if peq2,q. As an application we refine Naik's criterion for periodicity of links in S3. The periodicity criterion we obtain is effectively computable and gives concrete restrictions for periodicity of low-crossing knots.
