Involutions fixing $\mathbb {RP}^{\text {odd}}\sqcup P(h,i)$, I

Abstract:

This paper studies the equivariant cobordism classification of all involutions fixing a disjoint union of an odd-dimensional real projective space $\mathbb {RP}^j$ with its normal bundle nonbounding and a Dold manifold $P(h,i)$ with $h>0$ and $i>0$. For odd $h$, the complete analysis of the equivariant cobordism classes of such involutions is given except that the upper and lower bounds on codimension of $P(h,i)$ may not be best possible; for even $h$, the problem may be reduced to the problem for even projective spaces.
