Actions of groups of homeomorphisms on one-manifolds (Q260098)

Let \(M\) be a connected manifold (without boundary). A homeomorphism \(f\) of \(M\) with compact support is called compactly isotopic to the identity if there exists a continuous map \(F:M \times [0, 1] \longrightarrow M\) such that \noindent (1) for any \(t_0 \in [0, 1]\), \ \(F(\cdot , t_0)\) is a homeomorphism of \(M\); \noindent (2) for any \(t_0 \in [0, 1]\), \ there exists a compact subset \(K \subset M\) satisfying that \(\{ x \in M \mid F(x , t_0) \neq x \} \subset K\); \noindent (3) \(F(\cdot , 0) = Id_M\) and \(F(\cdot , 1)=f\). The paper focuses on the description of all the group morphisms from the group of compactly supported homeomorphisms isotopic to the identity of a manifold, say Homeo\(_0{(M)}\), to the group of homeomorphisms of the real line or of the circle. Using his own tools, the author proves the following two theorems. \smallskip Let \(M\) be a connected manifold of dimension greater than 2 and let \(N\) be a connected one-manifold. Then any group morphism \[ \varphi: \text{Homeo}_{0}(M)\longrightarrow \text{Homeo}(N) \] is trivial. \smallskip Let \(N\) be a connected one-manifold. For any group morphism \[ \varphi:\text{Homeo}_{0}(\mathbb{R})\longrightarrow \text{Homeo}(N), \] there exists a closed set \(K \subset N\) such that \noindent (a) the set \(K\) is pointwise fixed under any homeomorphism in \(\varphi(\text{Homeo}_{0}(\mathbb{R}))\); \noindent (b) for any connected component \(I\) of \(N\setminus K\), there exists a homeomorphism \[ h_1:\mathbb{R} \longrightarrow I \] \noindent such that \[ \varphi(f) |_{Id} = h_I f h_{I}^{-1} \;\;\;\;\;\text{ for all } \;f \in \text{Homeo}_0(\mathbb{R}). \] Compare with the results of [\textit{K.
