Abstract: We study Sobolev-type metrics of fractional order $sgeq0$ on the group $Dif{f}_c(M)$ of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a manifold $M$. We show that for the important special case $M=S^1$ the geodesic distance on $Dif{f}_c(S^1)$ vanishes if and only if $sleqfrac12$. For other manifolds we obtain a partial characterization: the geodesic distance on $Dif{f}_c(M)$ vanishes for $M=RimesN,s<frac12$ and for $M=S^{1}imesN,sleqfrac12$, with $N$ being a compact Riemannian manifold. On the other hand the geodesic distance on $Dif{f}_c(M)$ is positive for $dim(M)=1,s>frac12$ and $dim(M)geq2,sgeq1$. For $M=R^n$ we discuss the geodesic equations for these metrics. For $n=1$ we obtain some well known PDEs of hydrodynamics: Burgers' equation for $s=0$, the modified Constantin-Lax-Majda equation for $s=frac12$ and the Camassa-Holm equation for $s=1$.
