AB - Let H c(M) stand for the path connected identity component of the group of all compactly supported homeomorphisms of a manifold M. It is shown that H c(M) is perfect and simple under mild assumptions on M. Next, conjugation-invariant norms on Hc(M) are considered and the boundedness of Hc(M) and its subgroups is investigated. Finally, the structure of the universal covering group of Hc(M) is studied.
