Abstract

We strengthen the results of \cite{A1}, consequently, we improve the claims of \cite{A2} obtaining the best possible results. Namely, we prove that if a subgroup Γ\Gamma of Diff+(I)\mathrm{Diff}_{+}(I) contains a free semigroup on two generators then Γ\Gamma is not C0C_0-discrete. Using this, we extend the H\"older's Theorem in Diff+(I)\mathrm{Diff}_{+}(I) classifying all subgroups where every non-identity element has at most NN fixed points. In addition, we obtain a non-discreteness result in a subclass of homeomorghisms which allows to extend the classification result to all subgroups of Homeo+(I)\mathrm{Homeo}_{+}(I) where every non-identity element has at most NN fixed points.
