Abstract:
It is known that in the smooth orientable category any periodic map of order \(n\) on a closed surface of genus \(g\) can extend periodically over some \(m\)-dimensional sphere with respect to an equivariant embedding.

We will determine the smallest possible \(m\) when \(n\geq 3g\). We will also show that for each integer \(k>1\) there exist infinitely many periodic maps such that the smallest possible \(m\) is equal to \(k\).

This is a joint work with Chao Wang.
