Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-7"> When an arbitraryp-groupG acts on a &integers; n -homologyn-sphereX, it is proved here that the dimension functionn:S(G)&rarr;&integers;(S(G) is the set of subgroups ofG), defined byn(H)=dimXH, (dim here is cohomological dimension) is realised by a real representation ofG, and that there is an equivariant map fromX to the sphere of this representation. A converse is also established.</div>
