The main result of this paper is the determination, for any given finite group G not of prime power order, of exactly which smooth manifolds can be fixed point sets of smooth G-actions on disks or on euclidean spaces. General techniques for constructing smooth actions on disks with fixed point set of a given homotopy type were developed in [O1], and the procedure for constructing actions on euclidean spaces is similar (but simpler). What is new here is a way of constructing a G-vector bundle over a G-complex of given homotopy type which extends a given G-bundle over the fixed point set. Such a G-bundle can then be used to control the process of “thickening up” the G-complex to get a manifold with smooth G-action; and in particular to control the diffeomorphism type of the fixed point set. Here “G-complex” always means G-CW complex: a complex built up of orbits G/H× Dn of cells (where G acts trivially on the disk Dn).The main technical result for constructing G-bundles, for a finite group G not of prime power order, is given in Theorem 2.4. Let P (G) denote the set of subgroups of G of prime power order. Very roughly, given a finite G-complex X, a G-vector bundle η over XNP def=∪ H/∈ P (G) XH, and P-vector bundles ξP↓ X for all P∈ P (G), Theorem 2.4 gives conditions for being able to combine η and the ξP (after stabilization) to get a G-bundle over a G-complex X′ of the same (nonequivariant) homotopy type as X, and with (X′) NP= XNP. This result can then be combined with the equivariant thickening theorem of Edmonds & Lee [EL] and Pawa lowski [Pa2](see Theorem A. 12 below), to construct manifolds with smooth G-action having given homotopy type and given tangential structure on the fixed point sets. Note that this procedure does not (directly) apply to construct closed manifolds with G-action, but only open (noncompact) manifolds, or compact manifolds with boundary.
