Résumé
Abstract

Nous construisons des variétés M simplement connexes de dimension $4 k ⩾ 8$ avec les propriétés suivantes : le deuxième groupe d'homotopie $π_{2} (M)$ est fini, M admet une action lisse du cercle $S^{1}$ et le $\hat{A}$ -genre $\hat{A} (M)$ est non nulle.

We construct simply connected smooth manifolds M of dimension $4 k ⩾ 8$ with the following properties: the second homotopy group $π_{2} (M)$ is finite, M admits a smooth action by the circle $S^{1}$ and the $\hat{A}$ -genus $\hat{A} (M)$ is non-zero.
