Abstract: Let alpha_0 be an affine action of a discrete group Gamma on a compact homogeneous space X and alpha_1 a smooth action of Gamma on X which is C^1-close to alpha_0. We show that under some conditions, every topological conjugacy between alpha_0 and alpha_1 is smooth. In particular, our results apply to Zariski dense subgroups of SL_d(Z) acting on the torus T^d and Zariski dense subgroups of a simple noncompact Lie group G acting on a compact homogeneous space X of G with an invariant measure.

Review text

The main theorem of the paper states the following: If \(\alpha_0\) is an affine action of a discrete group \(\Gamma\) on a compact homogeneous space \(X\) and \(\alpha_1\) a \(C^\infty\)-action of \(\Gamma\) on \(X\) sufficiently \(C^1\)-close to \(\alpha_0\), then, under some conditions (about the irreducibility of some action and the existence of ``good pairs in the group of affine transformations \(\text{Aff}(X)\)), every topological conjugacy between \(\alpha_0\) and \(\alpha_1\) is in fact a \(C^\infty\)-diffeomorphism. This smoothness result is applied in two particular cases: 1) Zariski-dense subgroups on \(SL_d(\mathbb Z)\) acting on the \(d\)-dimensional torus, and 2) Zariski-dense subgroups of a simple noncompact Lie group \(G\) acting on a compact homogeneous space \(X\) on \(G\) with an invariant measure.
