Abstract:
In the bordism theory ${\Omega _ \ast }(Z_2^k)$ of smooth, orientation-preserving $Z_2^k$-actions all torsion has order two. Furthermore, the torsion classes inject in the unoriented theory ${N_ \ast }(Z_2^k)$, 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.References
