On lens spaces which may embed in the complex projective plane

Abstract

Using an obstruction derived by Owens and relying on Donaldson's Diagonalisation Theorem, we obtain a complete classification of lens spaces of Lisca type $(2)$ or $(3)$ that are unobstructed from embedding in a homology complex projective plane. This classification is further refined for lens spaces $L(p,q)$ with $p$ even, using an obstruction due to Lidman--Moore--Vazquez based on work of Lin. This article is extracted from the author's PhD thesis.
