In this paper we consider the conjugacy classes of diffeomorphisms of the interval, endowed with the $C^1$-topology. We present several results in the spirit of the one below : Given two diffeomorphisms $f,g$ of the interval $[0;1]$ without…

We study the problem of conjugating a diffeomorphism of the interval to (positive) powers of itself. Although this is always possible for homeomorphisms, the smooth setting is rather interesting. Besides the obvious obstruction given by…

We show that a $C^{1+bv}$ circle diffeomorphism with absolutely continuous derivative and irrational rotation number can be conjugated to diffeomorphisms that are $C^{1+bv}$ arbitrary close to the corresponding rotation. This improves a…

We study a certain class circle maps which are constant on one interval (called flat piece), and such that the degrees of the singularities at the boundary of the flat piece are different. In this paper, we show that if the topological…

We build the first examples of diffeomorphisms that are distorted in a group of $C^r$ diffeomorphisms yet undistorted in the corresponding group of $C^s$ diffeomorphisms, where $r < s$. This explicit construction is performed for the closed…

In this article, we characterize the distortion elements of the group of smooth diffeomorphisms of the circle and of the group of compactly supported smooth diffeomorphisms of the real line. More precisely, we prove that, in this context,…

Let $\Lambda$ be an isolated non-trival transitive set of a $C^1$ generic diffeomorphism $f\in\Diff(M)$. We show that the space of invariant measures supported on $\Lambda$ coincides with the space of accumulation measures of time averages…

A Moebius covariant net of von Neumann algebras on S^1 is diffeomorphism covariant if its Moebius symmetry extends to diffeomorphism symmetry. We prove that in case the net is either a Virasoro net or any at least 4-regular net such an…

We improve a recent construction of Andr\'es Navas to produce the first examples of $C^2$-undistorted diffeomorphisms of the interval that are $C^{1+\alpha}$-distorted (for every $\alpha < 1$). We do this via explicit computations due to…

Let $f:S^1\times [0,1]\to S^1\times [0,1]$ be a real-analytic annulus diffeomorphism which is homotopic to the identity map and preserves an area form. Assume that for some lift $\tilde {f}:\mathbb{R}\times [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\times…

Classical results by Poincar\'e and Denjoy show that two orientation-preserving $C^2$ diffeomorphisms of the circle are topologically conjugate if and only if they have the same rotation number. We show that there is no possibility of…

Let $\Diffeo=\Diffeo(\R)$ denote the group of infinitely-differentiable diffeomorphisms of the real line $\R$, under the operation of composition, and let $\Diffeo^+$ be the subgroup of diffeomorphisms of degree +1, i.e.…

Let $f$ be a $C^{1+\varepsilon}$ diffeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ that preserves orientation and the boundary components, and $\widetilde{f}$ be a lift of $f$ to its universal covering space. Assume that $A$ is a Birkhoff region of…

We consider families of geometries of D--dimensional space, described by a finite number of parameters. Starting from the De Witt metric we extract a unique integration measure which turns out to be a geometric invariant, i.e. independent…

Let $f$ be a smooth symplectic diffeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^2$ admitting a (non-split) separatrix associated to a hyperbolic fixed point. We prove that if $f$ is a perturbation of the time-1 map of a symplectic autonomous vector field,…

We deal with germs of diffeomorphisms that are reversible under an involution. We establish that this condition implies that, in general, both the family of reversing symmetries and the group of symmetries are not finite, in contrast with…

Let D^r_+[0,1], r >= 1, denote the group of orientation-preserving C^r diffeomorphisms of [0,1]. We show that any two representations of Z^2 in D^r_+[0,1], r >= 2, are connected by a continuous path of representations of Z^2 in D^1_+[0,1].…

In [13], it is proved that any subgroup of $\mathrm{Diff}_{+}^{\omega }(I)$ (the group of orientation preserving analytic diffeomorphisms of the interval) is either metaabelian or does not satisfy a law. A stronger question is asked whether…

Given a feature set for the shape of a closed loop, it is natural to ask which features in that set do not change when the starting point of the path is moved. For example, in two dimensions, the area enclosed by the path does not depend on…

In this paper, we study infinite dimensional holomorphic vector fields on sequence spaces, having a fixed point at $0$. Under suitable hypotheses we prove the existence of analytic invariant submanifolds passing through the fixed point. The…
