4 Basic Idea due to Kaluba G nontrivial perfect group Z compact G-manifold with z 0 Z G F F({D n }) (F ) Find G-action S n with n = dim Z, S G = F F, a 0 F = diff F, T a0 S = G T z0 Z Take conn. sum Y = S n #Z at (a 0, z 0 ) 3

5 F F S n Z conn sum Z G Fig. Y = S n #Z Remove F #Z G from Y by G-surgery Question. Does there exist a G-map f : X Y s.t. f is homotopic to diffeo. & X G = F? If Answer is Yes then F F(Z) 4

6 Families of finite groups. Known Results def G G R G possesses a subquotient K/H isomorphic to a dihedral group of order 2pq for some distinct primes p and q, where H K G. G GC σ def G contains an element g being conjugate to its inverse of order pq for some distinct primes p and q. def G G C G contains an element g of order pq for some distinct primes p and q. G E def A Sylow 2-subgroup of G is not normal in G, and any element of G is of prime power order. 5

7 Thm. (B. Oliver) Let G G C E. Then F F G ({D n }) χ(f ) 1 mod n G and Case G G R : no restrictions on T F. Case G G σ C G R : c R ([T F ]) c H ( KSp(F ) ) +Tor ( KU(F ) ). Case G G C G σ C : [T F ] r C ( KU(F ) ) + Tor ( KO(F ) ). Case G E : [T F ] Tor ( KO(F ) ). G nontrivial nonsolvable = n G = 1 G E and F F G ({D n }) = dim F i = dim F j (conn. copmp. s) 6
