Permutations, isotropy and smooth cyclic group actions on definite 4-manifolds

Ian Hambleton, Mihail Tanase

Abstract. We use the equivariant Yang-Mills moduli space to investigate the relation between the singular set, isotropy representations at fixed points, and permutation modules realized by the induced action on homology for smooth group actions on certain 4-manifolds.

Keywords. Gauge theory, 4-manifolds, group actions, Yang-Mills, moduli space
