Reconstructing maps out of groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that, in many situations, a homeomorphism f of a manifold M may be recovered from the (marked) isomorphism class of a finitely generated group of homeomorphisms containing f. As an application, we relate the notions of {em critical regularity} and of {em differentiable rigidity}, give examples of groups of diffeomorphisms of 1-manifolds with strong differential rigidity, and in so doing give an independent, short proof of a recent result of Kim and Koberda that there exist finitely generated groups of Calpha diffeomorphisms of a 1-manifold M, not embeddable into for any .
