Abstract: We study the isometry group of a globally hyperbolic spatially compact Lorentz surface. Such a group acts on the circle, and we show that when the isometry group acts non properly, the subgroups of $mathrmDiff(mathbb{S}^1)$ obtained are semi conjugate to subgroups of finite covers of $mathrmPSL(2,mathbbR)$ by using convergence groups. Under an assumption on the conformal boundary, we show that we have a conjugacy in $mathrmHomeo(mathbb{S}^1)$.
