In this paper, it is shown that non-isomorphic effective linear circle actions yield non-diffeomorphic differential structures on the corresponding orbit spaces.
We take a direct approach to computing the orbits for the action of the automorphism group $\mathbb{G}_2$ of the Honda formal group law of height $2$ on the associated Lubin-Tate rings $R_2$. We prove that $(R_2/p)_{\mathbb{G}_2} \cong \mathbb{F}_p$. The result is new for $p=2$ and $p=3$. For primes $p\geq 5$, the result is a consequence of computations of Shimomura and Yabe and has been reproduced by Kohlhaase using different methods.
