Actions of groups of diffeomorphisms on one-manifolds


Abstract in English

Denote by $DC(M)_0$ the identity component of the group of compactly supported $C^infty$ diffeomorphisms of a connected $C^infty$ manifold $M$, and by $HR$ the group of the homeomorphisms of $R$. We show that if $M$ is a closed manifold which fibers over $S^m$ ($mgeq 2$), then any homomorphism from $DC(M)_0$ to $HR$ is trivial.
