Abstract

The aim of this note is to advertise on a result, not stated explicitly, but proved, in arXiv:0802.0512. Namely, if Γ\Gamma is any group, if ρ1\rho_1, ρ2\rho_2 are representations of Γ\Gamma in PSL(2,R)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R}), one of them being non elementary and non discrete, and if for all γΓ\gamma\in\Gamma, ρ1(γ)\rho_1(\gamma) and ρ2(γ)\rho_2(\gamma) have the same rotation number, then ρ1\rho_1 and ρ2\rho_2 are conjugate in PSL(2,R)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R}). In particular, if two non discrete, non elementary representations yield semi-conjugate actions on the circle, then they are conjugate in PSL(2,R)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R}).
