  • We study free actions of finite nonabelian groups on 3-dimensional nilmanifolds with the first homology ${\mathbb{Z}}^2{\bigoplus}{\mathbb{Z}}_2$ which yield an orbit manifold reversing fiber orientation, up to topological conjugacy. We show that those nonabelian groups are $D_4$(the dihedral group), $Q_8$(the quaternion group), and $C_8.C_4$(the $1^{st}$ non-split extension by $C_8$ of $C_4$ acting via $C_4/C_2=C_2$).

  • We show that if a finite group G acts freely with homotopically trivial translations on a 3-dimensional nilmanifold 𝓝p with the first homology ℤ2 ⊕ ℤp, then either G is cyclic or there exist finite nonabelian groups acting freely on 𝓝p which yield orbit manifolds homeomorphic to 𝓝/𝜋3 or 𝓝/𝜋4.
