Letφ: (Z2)k×Mn→Mn denote a smooth action of the group (Z2)k = {T1,..., Tk|Ti2 = 1, TiTj = TjTi} on a closed manifold Mn. The fixed point set F of the action is the disjoint union of closed submanifolds of Mn, which are finite in number. If each component of F is of constant dimension n - r, we say that F is of constant codimension r. Let MOn denote the unoriented cobordism group of dimension n and JJn,kr the set of unoriented cobordism classes of Mn that admits a (Z2)k-action with fixed point set of constant codimension r. Jn,kr is a group of MOn and J*,kr =∑n≥rJn,kr is an ideal of the unoriented cobordism ring MO* =∑n≥0MOn. In this paper, we determine J*,k2k+7 by constructing indecomposable manifolds M and defining appropriate (Z2)k -action on M.
