Weights of finite cyclic actions on definite $4$-manifolds

Let $X$ be a closed, smooth, orientable, positive definite $4$-manifold with $H_1(X ; \mathbb{Z}) = 0$. Let $p$ be a prime and suppose that $G = \mathbb{Z}_p$ acts smoothly on $X$ (if $p=2$ we also require an assumption on how $G$ acts on $H^2(X ; \mathbb{Z})$). Using equivariant Yang--Mills theory, Hambleton--Lee and...
