Orderings and flexibility of some subgroups of $Homeo_+(\mathbb{R})$
Abstract
In this work we exhibit flexibility phenomena for some (countable) groups acting by order preserving homeomorphisms of the line. More precisely, we show that if a left orderable group admits an amalgam decomposition of the form where , then every faithful action of on the line by order preserving homeomorphisms can be approximated by another action (without global fixed points) that is not semi-conjugated to the initial action. We deduce that , the space of left orders of , is a Cantor set. In the special case where is the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic surface, we found finer techniques of perturbation. For instance, we exhibit a single representation whose conjugacy class in dense in the space of representations. This entails that the space of representations without global fixed points of into is connected, and also that the natural conjugation action of on has a dense orbit.
