Exotic group actions on homology 3-spheres

We present two contrasting methods for constructing group actions on homology 3-spheres. These actions are characterized as being exotic - not conjugate to a standard linear action. The first method is to modify a standard linear action on the 3-sphere by performing surgery on an invariant link....
