Abstract:

Two theorems of Accola concerning automorphisms of Riemann surfaces can be extended to higher dimensional manifolds. Formulas are obtained concerning signatures of compact oriented 4k-dimensional differentiable manifolds and Euler-Poincaré characteristics of compact differentiable manifolds and compact complex manifolds.
