Homologically trivial linearization conjecture for cyclic actions on the complex projective plane

Let a4na4n act smoothly on a4cp2a4cp^2. The action is homologically trivial if it acts trivially on the second homology H2(a4cp2)H_2(a4cp^2). A linear action is one induced by the standard linear action on complex projective space. Homologically trivial linearization conjecture. Every homologically trivial a4na4n-action on a4cp2a4cp^2 is smoothly equivalent to a linear action. The conjecture is known in the symplectic case and topologically, while the smooth case remains open. Nonlinear actions of a4p\oplusa4pa4p\oplusa4p are known, but in those examples every cyclic subgroup acts linearly.
