Abstract

We consider the groups DiffB(Rn)\operatorname{Diff}_{\mathcal B}(\mathbb R^n), DiffH(Rn)\operatorname{Diff}_{H^\infty}(\mathbb R^n), and DiffS(Rn)\operatorname{Diff}_{\mathcal S}(\mathbb R^n) of smooth diffeomorphisms on Rn\mathbb R^n which differ from the identity by a function which is in either B\mathcal B (bounded in all derivatives), H=k0HkH^\infty = \bigcap_{k\ge 0}H^k, or S\mathcal S (rapidly decreasing). We show that all these groups are smooth regular Lie groups.
