In two earlier papers ([9] and [10]), the author studied smooth actions of finite groups on disks; in particular describing the fixed point sets (up to homotopy type) which can occur for such actions of any given finite group. The main result in [9] was that for any finite group G not of prime power order, there exists an integer no such that for any finite CW complex F, G has a smooth action on a disk with fixed point set having the homotopy type of F if and only if; g (F) 1 (mod no).The number no was calculated for all such finite groups in [9] and [10]. In this paper, it is shown that a number n G with the same properties exists for any compact Lie group G such that G/Go is not of prime power order or G o is not a torus (G o denotes the identity component of G). It is easily seen that no= no/co if Go is a toms; for groups G with non-abelian identity component smooth fixedpoint free actions of G on disks are constructed to show that n G--1. More specifically actions on disks such that the fixed point set of any subgroup is either a disk or empty are studied.
