Abstract/Summary:
We consider free actions of large prime order cyclic groups on products of spheres. In particular we show that the actions are often equivariantly homotopy equivalent to linear actions, and that the homeomorphism classification of linear actions boils down to the calculation of their Pontrjagin classes.
