In this note we apply a basic" integrality theorem" for group actions on smooth manifolds to prove two closely related results. The first concerns smooth actions of Z/p, p an odd prime, with two isolated fixed points. A basic result in transformation groups is the result of Atiyah and Bott [1, Theorem 7.15] that if Z/p acts on a sphere S2" with two isolated fixed points then the representations of Z/p on the tangent space at each fixed point are isomorphic. It is perhaps surprising that the same result is true for any smooth manifold, provided the dimension is not too small.THEOREM. Let p be an odd prime and suppose Z/p acts smoothly on a closed, oriented, smooth manifold M2n with exactly two isolated fixed points. Suppose n^ p—2. Then the representations of Z/p on the tangent space at each fixed point are isomorphic.
