A new family of finite Oliver groups satisfying the Laitinen Conjecture
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the Laitinen Conjecture. The conjecture predicts an answer to the Smith question which reads as follows. Is it true that for a finite group acting smoothly on a sphere with exactly two fixed points, the tangent spaces at the fixed points have always isomorphic group module structures defined by differentiation of the action? Using the technique of induction of group representations, we indicate a new infinite family of finite Oliver groups for which the Laitinen Conjecture holds.
