S3 x S3 acts freely on S3 x S3
James F. Davis
Abstract
A free action of the direct product of two copies of the symmetric group on 3 elements on the cartesian product of two copies of the 3-sphere is constructed. This nonlinear action is constructed using surgery. The action provides a counterexample to a conjecture of Lewis made in 1968.
