Abstract: Let alpha be an irrational number and I an interval of mathbbR. If alpha is Diophantine, we show that any one-parameter group of homeomorphisms of I whose time-1 and alpha maps are Cinfty is in fact the flow of a Cinfty vector field. If alpha is Liouville on the other hand, we construct a one-parameter group of homeomorphisms of I whose time-1 and alpha maps are Cinfty but which is not the flow of a C2 vector field (though, if I has boundary, we explain that the hypotheses force it to be the flow of a C1 vector field). We extend both results to families of irrational numbers, the critical arithmetic condition in this case being simultaneous "diophantinity". For one-parameter groups defining a free action of (mathbbR,+) on I, these results follow from famous linearization theorems for circle diffeomorphisms. The novelty of this work concerns non-free actions.
