Circle actions on almost complex manifolds with 4 fixed points

Abstract

Let the circle act on a compact almost complex manifold $M$. In this paper, we classify the fixed point data of the action if there are 4 fixed points and the dimension of the manifold is at most 6. First, if $\dim M=2$, then $M$ is a disjoint union of rotations on two 2-spheres. Second, if $\dim M=4$, we prove that the action alikes a circle action on a Hirzebruch surface. Finally, if $\dim M=6$, we prove that six types occur for the fixed point data; ${\mathbb{CP}}^3$ type, complex quadric in ${\mathbb{CP}}^4$ type, Fano 3-fold type, $S^6\cup S^6$ type, and two unknown types that might possibly be realized as blow ups of a manifold like $S^6$. When $\dim M=6$, we recover the result by Ahara in which the fixed point data is determined if furthermore $\mathrm{Todd}(M)=1$ and $c_1^3(M)[M]\ne 0$, and the result by Tolman in which the fixed point data is determined if furthermore the base manifold admits a symplectic structure and the action is Hamiltonian.
