Abstract: Let $M$ be a triangulable compact manifold. We prove that, among closed subgroups of $home{o}_0(M)$ (the identity component of the group of homeomorphisms of $M$), the subgroup consisting of volume preserving elements is maximal.

Review text

Let \(M\) be a compact, connected, triangulable topological manifold without boundary of dimension at least 2 equipped with a probability measure \(\mu\) such that finite sets have measure 0 while non-empty open sets have positive measure. Let \(\mathcal H_0(M)\), equipped with the topology of uniform convergence, be the group of homeomorphisms of \(M\) isotopic to the identity and \(\mathcal H_0(M,\mu)\) the subgroup preserving \(\mu\). Then \(\mathcal H_0(M,\mu)\) is maximal amongst the closed subgroups of \(\mathcal H_0(M)\).
