# Nicolás Matte Bon: "Locally moving groups acting on the real line"

Europe/Paris
Description

Abstract: A group G of homeomorphisms of the real line is locally moving if every open interval supports a subgroup which acts on it without global fixed points. An example of such group is Thompson's group F.
In this talk,  given a  locally moving group G, I will investigate rigidity and flexibility properties of the possible actions of G on the line. It turns out that many locally moving groups (and in particular Thompson's groups F) admit  rich (uncountable) families of exotic'' actions which are not semi-conjugate to their natural'' locally moving action. After giving some examples, I will discuss a result showing all such actions satisfy a specific type of topological dynamical behaviour. Among applications, we will see that if G is locally moving, then all its actions on the real line by C^1-diffeomorphisms must be semi-conjugate to its locally moving action, and that under some  additional conditions, a locally moving action is structurally stable under small deformations.
This is a joint work with Joaquín Brum, Cristóbal Rivas and Michele Triestino.
