Let p be a prime number and X a simply connected Hausdorff space equipped with a free Z p -action generated by f p : X → X. Let α : S 2n−1 → S 2n−1 be a homeomorphism generating a free Z p -action on the (2n − 1)-sphere, whose orbit space is some lens space. We prove that, under some homotopy conditions on X, there exists an equivariant map F : (S 2n−1 , α) → (X, f p ). As applications, we derive new versions of generalized Lusternik-Schnirelmann and Borsuk-Ulam theorems.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 55M20; Secondary 55M30, 55M35.
