Abstract

Let a cyclic group of odd prime order p act on a ℤ(p)-Poincaré duality space X. We prove a relation between the Witt classes associated to the [ ]p-cohomology rings of the fixed point set of this action and of X. This is applied to show a similar result for actions of finite p-groups on ℤ(p)-homology manifolds.
