The N-EXTENT OF S3(p,m)


Abstract. In this paper we estimate the n-extent of various lens spaces. We give numerical evidence for extending certain results of D. G. Yang [ Duke Math. J., 74 (1994), 531-545.] to primes between 11 and 37. We explain the implication of our results for the topology of 4-dimensional manifolds of positive sectional curvature with nontrivial isometric Zp-actions.
