Fixed points of circle actions on spaces with rational cohomology of $S^n V S^{2n} V S^{3n}$ or $P^2(n) V S^{3n}$
Let $X$ be a finitistic space with its rational cohomology isomorphic to that of the wedge sum $P^2(n)\vee S^{3n} $ or $S^{n} \vee S^{2n}\vee S^{3n}$. We study continuous $\mathbb{S}^1$ actions on $X$ and determine the possible fixed point sets up to rational cohomology depending on whether or not $X$ is totally non-homologous to zero in $X_{\mathbb{S}^1}$ in the Borel fibration $X\hookrightarrow X_{\mathbb{S}^1} \longrightarrow B_{\mathbb{S}^1}$. We also give examples realizing the possible cases.

Z_2 actions on complexes with three non-trivial cells
In this paper, we study $Z_2$ actions on a cell complex X having the cohomology ring isomorphic to that of the wedge sum $P^2 (n) V S^{3n}$ or $S^n V S^{2n} V S^{3n}$. We determine the possible fixed point sets depending on whether or not X is totally non-homologous to zero in $X_{Z_2}$ and give examples realizing the possible cases.

Parametrized Borsuk-Ulam problem for projective space bundles
Let $π: E \to B$ be a fiber bundle with fiber having the mod 2 cohomology algebra of a real or a complex projective space and let $π^{'}: E^{'} \to B$ be vector bundle such that $\mathbb{Z}_2$ acts fiber preserving and freely on $E$ and $E^{'}-0$, where 0 stands for the zero section of the bundle $π^{'}:E^{'} \to B$. For a fiber preserving $\mathbb{Z}_2$-equivariant map $f:E \to E^{'}$, we estimate the cohomological dimension of the zero set $Z_f = \{x \in E | f(x)= 0\}.$ As an application, we also estimate the cohomological dimension of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-coincidence set $A_f=\{x \in E | f(x) = f(T(x)) \}$ of a fiber preserving map $f:E \to E^{'}$.

A simple proof of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem for Z_p-actions
In this note, we give a simple proof of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem for $Z_p$-actions. We prove that, if $S^n$ and $S^m$ are equipped with free $Z_p$-actions (p prime) and $f: S^n \to S^m$ is a $Z_p$-equivariant map, then $n \leq m$.

Orbit spaces of free involutions on the product of two projective spaces
Let $X$ be a finitistic space having the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the product of two projective spaces. We study free involutions on $X$ and determine the possible mod 2 cohomology algebra of orbit space of any free involution, using the Leray spectral sequence associated to the Borel fibration $X \hookrightarrow X_{\mathbb{Z}_2} \longrightarrow B_{\mathbb{Z}_2}$. We also give an application of our result to show that if $X$ has the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the product of two real projective spaces (respectively complex projective spaces), then there does not exist any $\mathbb{Z}_2$-equivariant map from $\mathbb{S}^k \to X$ for $k \geq 2$ (respectively $k \geq 3$), where $\mathbb{S}^k$ is equipped with the antipodal involution.

Automorphisms of abelian group extensions
Let $1 \to N \to G \to H \to 1$ be an abelian extension. The purpose of this paper is to study the problem of extending automorphisms of $N$ and lifting automorphisms of $H$ to certain automorphisms of $G$.
