Let Fⁿ be a connected, smooth and closed n-dimensional manifold satisfying the following property: if N m is any smooth and closed m-dimensional manifold with m > n and T : N m N m is a smooth involution whose fixed point set is Fⁿ, then m = 2n. We describe the equivariant cobordism classification of smooth actions ( M m ; Φ ) of the group G = Z k on closed smooth m-dimensional manifolds M m for which the fixed point set of the action is a submanifold Fⁿ with the above property. This generalizes a result of F. L. Capobianco, who obtained this classification for F = P 2 r (P. E. Conner and E. E. Floyd had previously shown that P 2 r has the property in question). In addition, we establish some properties concerning these Fⁿ and give some new examples of these special manifolds.

AB - Let Fⁿ be a connected, smooth and closed n-dimensional manifold satisfying the following property: if $N^{m}$ is any smooth and closed m-dimensional manifold with m > n and $T:N^{m} → N^{m}$ is a smooth involution whose fixed point set is Fⁿ, then m = 2n. We describe the equivariant cobordism classification of smooth actions $(M^{m};Φ)$ of the group $G = Z₂^{k}$ on closed smooth m-dimensional manifolds $M^{m}$ for which the fixed point set of the action is a submanifold Fⁿ with the above property. This generalizes a result of F. L. Capobianco, who obtained this classification for $Fⁿ = ℝP^{2r}$ (P. E. Conner and E. E. Floyd had previously shown that $ℝP^{2r}$ has the property in question). In addition, we establish some properties concerning these Fⁿ and give some new examples of these special manifolds.
