Abstract

Let Z2 denote a cyclic group of 2 order and Z 22 = Z2 × Z2 the direct product of groups. Suppose that (M, Φ) is a closed and smooth manifold M with a smooth Z 22 -action whose fixed point set is the disjoint union of two real projective spaces with the same dimension. In this paper, the authors give a sufficient condition on the fixed data of the action for (M, Φ) bounding equivariantly.
