Petrie's conjecture on Pontryagin classes of homotopy complex projective spaces

From papers

Let MM be a 2n2n-dimensional compact oriented manifold homotopy equivalent to the complex projective space 4CPn44\mathbb{CP}^n4. Suppose that MM admits a non-trivial S1S^1-action. Petrie's conjecture. The total Pontryagin class of MM agrees with that of CPn\mathbb{CP}^n. The conjecture is known in several special cases, including torus actions and dimensions up to at least 88, but remains open in full generality.
