Bourgin–Yang version of the Borsuk–Ulam theorem for $\mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$–equivariant maps

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 12 (2012) 2245–2258
Abstract

Let G = pk be a cyclic group of prime power order and let V and W be orthogonal representations of G with V G = WG = {0}. Let S(V ) be the sphere of V and suppose f : S(V ) W is a G–equivariant mapping. We give an estimate for the dimension of the set f1{0} in terms of V and W. This extends the Bourgin–Yang version of the Borsuk–Ulam theorem to this class of groups. Using this estimate, we also estimate the size of the G–coincidences set of a continuous map from S(V ) into a real vector space W.
