An action of a group, G, on a surface, F, consists of a homomorphismø: G → Homeo (F).We will restrict our discussion to finite groups acting on closed, connected, orientable surfaces, with ø(g) orientation-preserving for all g ε G. In addition we will consider only effective (ø is injective) free actions. Free means that ø(g) is fixed-point-free for all g ε G, g ≠ 1. This paper addresses the classification of such actions.

Free Actions

Tate cohomology of finite groups [5] is very good at emphasising periodic cohomological behaviour and hence at the study of free actions on spheres [8]. Tate cohomology of spaces was introduced by Swan [10] for finite dimensional spaces to systematically ignore free actions, and hence to simplify various arguments in fixed point theory.

We consider 3-manifolds admitting the action of an involution such that its space of orbits is homeomorphic to [Formula: see text] Such involutions are called hyperelliptic as the manifolds admitting such an action. We consider finite groups acting on 3-manifolds and containing hyperelliptic involutions whose fixed-point set has [Formula: see text] components. In particular we prove that a simple group containing such an involution is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] for some odd prime power [Formula: see text], or to one of four other small simple groups.

Free Actions

In this paper we consider free actions of finite cyclic groups on the pair (S3, K), where K is a knot in S3. That is, we look at periodic diffeo-morphisms f of (S3, K) such that fn is fixed point free, for all n less than the order of f. Note that such actions are always orientation preserving. We will show that if K is a non-trivial prime knot then, up to conjugacy, (S3, K) has at most one free finite cyclic group action of a given order. In addition, if all of the companions of K are prime, then all of the free periodic diffeo-morphisms of (S3, K) are conjugate to elements of one cyclic group which acts freely on (S3, K). More specifically, we prove the following two theorems.THEOREM 1. Let K be a non-trivial prime knot. If f and g are free periodic diffeomorphisms of (S3, K) of the same order, then f is conjugate to a power of g.
