Abstract

Let \(G= {\mathbb {Z}}_4\). We construct examples of G-equivariant entire rational maps from non-singular real algebraic G-varieties to Grassmannians with appropriate actions of G. These examples of strongly algebraic \({\mathbb {Z}}_4\) vector bundles facilitate a key step in the verification of Conjecture 1.1 in the general cyclic group action case.
