Abstract
We now begin our major undertaking, the study of differentiable periodic maps. Most of our attention is given to maps of prime period p. There appear to be two cases to treat, p = 2, and p odd. In this chapter we treat the case p = 2; that is, we deal with differentiable involutions T on closed manifolds M n. A distinctive feature of the case p = 2 is that we may ignore matters of orientation.
