Abstract: Recall that a pseudofree group action on a space is one whose singular set consists only of isolated points. In this paper, we classify all of the finite groups which admit pseudofree actions on S^2 x S^2. The groups turn out to be exactly the expected ones: those which admit orthogonal pseudofree actions on S^2 x S^2 as a subset of R^3 x R^3. They are explicitly listed. This paper can be viewed as a companion to a paper of Edmonds, math.GT/9809055.

Review text

The author studies which finite groups can act pseudofreely (with a finite number of singular orbits) on \(S^2 \times S^2\), and shows that these are exactly those groups that admit orthogonal pseudofree actions on \(S^2 \times S^2 \subset \mathbb R^3 \times \mathbb R^3\). The groups are explicitly listed.
