Abstract: In the bordism theory of smooth, orientation-preserving
-actions all torsion has order two. Furthermore, the torsion classes inject in the unoriented theory
, and any class represented by a stationary-point free action has infinite order. In addition, a procedure is given for producing Smith constructions in some generality.
