Abstract:
By an ${A_k}$-manifold we mean a connected manifold with elements ${w_i} \in {H^1}(M), 1 \leqslant i \leqslant k$, such that ${w_1} \cup \cdots \cup {w_k} \ne 0$. In this paper we study the fixed point set, degree of symmetry, semisimple degree of symmetry and gaps of transformation groups on ${A_k}$-manifolds.References
