Abstract:
Connolly and Geist have reduced the problem of determining which free cyclic actions on spheres extend to free actions of specified supergroups to a problem involving a certain transfer map. In this note we develop some algebraic tools for calculating the transfer and show that some cyclic actions do not extend to certain supergroups.References
