Abstract: We study the properties of rotation numbers for some groups of piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the circle. We use these properties to obtain results on PL rigidity, non isomorphicity, non exoticity of automorphisms, non smoothability for Thompson-Stein groups.


The paper is devoted to the study of rationality properties of rotation numbers for some groups of piecewise linear homeomorphism of the circle, the Thompson-Stein groups. It is proved that for many Thompson-Stein groups the outer automorphism group has order 2. As another application, Thompson-Stein groups which do not admit nontrivial representation in \(\text{Diff}^9(S^1)\) are constructed.
