Recent work on classifying compact four-manifolds with positive or nonnegative sectional curvature has included the study of such manifolds that admit circle actions or $\doubz\sb{p}$-actions. This dissertation continues the study of compact four-manifolds that admit finite group actions. Specifically, we consider positively pinched manifolds that admit a $\doubz\sb{p}$-action and nonnegatively curved manifolds that admit a $\doubz\sb{p}\times\doubz\sb{p}$ action / acase@tulane.edu
