Abstract: Let M and N be closed, compact manifolds of dimension m and let X be a closed manifold of dimension with embeddings of
into M and N. Suppose the interior of
is removed from M and N and the resulting manifolds are attached via a homeomorphism
. Let this homeomorphism be of the form
where
. The resulting manifold, written as
, is called the adjacent connected sum of M and N along X. In this paper definitions and examples are given and the examples are then used to classify actions of the torus
on closed, compact, connected, simply connected
-manifolds,
