      One of the central problems in studying a group \(G\) of homeomorphisms of the real line is the description of invariant and projectively invariant measures. Note that a measure \(\mu\) is projectively invariant iff its orbit \(G\mu\) is contained in the ray \(\mathbb{R}^+\mu\), or, in other words, if the closed cone \(C\) generated by its orbit has only one extremal ray. A natural generalization is the notion of an \(\omega\)-projectively invariant measure for \(\omega\) being a cardinal number, which means that the cone \(C\) has \(\omega\) extremal rays. The present paper gives results (without proofs) on the interplay between the question of existence of \(\omega\)-projectively invariant measures and the geometry of the action of \(G\) on \(\mathbb{R}\).
