Abstract

We study a simple problem that arises from the study of Lorentz surfaces and Anosov flows. For a non decreasing map of degree one h:S1S1h:\mathbb{S}^1\to \mathbb{S}^1, we are interested in groups of circle diffeomorphisms that act on the complement of the graph of hh in S1×S1\mathbb{S}^1\times \mathbb{S}^1 by preserving a volume form. We show that such groups are semi conjugate to subgroups of PSL(2,R)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R}), and that when hHomeo(S1)h\in \mathrm{Homeo}(\mathbb{S}^1), we have a topological conjugacy. We also construct examples, where hh is not continuous, for which there is no such conjugacy.
