Abstract:
	In this talk, we shall construct, for any finite group $G$, 
and action $\alpha$ of $G$ on the Jiang-Su algebra which we call the 
model action. The model action is strongly outer, and is conjugate to 
the tensor product of two copies of the model action. Moreover, we show 
that, if $A$ is any simple separable unital nuclear C*-algebra which 
tensorially absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra and has a reasonable 'nice' 
trace space, then any strongly outer action of $G$ on $A$ will 
tensorially absorbs our model action. This could be viewed as a 
C*-analogue of the model actions for actions on von Neumann algebras 
constructed by Connes, Jones and Ocneanu, or an equivariant version of 
the Jiang-Su algebra.
