On closed subgroups of the group of homeomorphisms of a manifold

Frédéric Le Roux (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

Let M be a triangulable compact manifold. We prove that, among closed subgroups of Homeo 0 ( M ) (the identity component of the group of homeomorphisms of M ), the subgroup consisting of volume preserving elements is maximal.

On the minimum dilatation of pseudo-Anosov homeromorphisms on surfaces of small genus

Erwan Lanneau, Jean-Luc Thiffeault (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We find the minimum dilatation of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms that stabilize an orientable foliation on surfaces of genus three, four, or five, and provide a lower bound for genus six to eight. Our technique also simplifies Cho and Ham’s proof of the least dilatation of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms on a genus two surface. For genus g = 2 to 5 , the minimum dilatation is the smallest Salem number for polynomials of degree 2 g .

On the structure of homeomorphisms of the open annulus

Lucien Guillou (2011)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Let h be a without fixed point lift to the plane of a homeomorphism of the open annulus isotopic to the identity and without wandering point. We show that h admits a h -invariant dense open set O on which it is conjugate to a translation and we study the action of h on the compactly connected components of the closed and without interior set R 2 O .
