Abstract: Constraints on the Seifert invariants of orientable 3-manifolds which admit fixed-point free
-actions and embed in
are given. In particular, the generalized Euler invariant of the orbit fibration is determined up to sign by the base orbifold
unless
is torsion free, in which case it can take at most one nonzero value (up to sign). An
-manifold
with base orbifold
where all cone point orders are odd embeds in
if and only if its Seifert data
is skew-symmetric.
