AbstractWe determine all the normal subgroups of the group of Cr diffeomorphisms of ℝn, 1≤r≤∞, except when r=n+1 or n=4, and also of the group of homeomorphisms of ℝn ( r=0). We also study the group A0 of diffeomorphisms of an open manifold M that are isotopic to the identity. If M is the interior of a compact manifold with non-empty boundary, then the quotient of A0 by the normal subgroup of diffeomorphisms that coincide with the identity near to a given end e of M is simple.

Abstract We introduce a notion of a probabilistic convergence transformation group, and present various natural examples including quotient probabilistic convergence transformation group. In doing so, we construct a probabilistic convergence structure on the group of homeomorphisms and look into a probabilistic convergence group that arises from probabilistic uniform convergence structure on function spaces. Given a probabilistic convergence space, and an arbitrary group, we construct a probabilistic convergence transformation group. Introducing a notion of a probabilistic metric convergence transformation group on a probabilistic metric space, we obtain in a natural way a probabilistic convergence transformation group.

The concept of a mitotic group was introduced in [3] by Baumslag, Dyer and Heller who showed that mitotic groups were acyclic. In [8] one of the authors introduced the concept of a pseudo-mitotic group, a concept weaker than that of a mitotic group, and showed that pseudo-mitotic groups were acyclic and that the group Gnof homeomorphisms of Rn with compact support is pseudo-mitotic. In our present paper we develop techniques to prove pseudomitoticity of certain other homeomorphism groups. In [5] Kan and Thurston observed that the group of set theoretic bijections of Q with bounded support is acyclic. A natural question is to decide whether the group of homeomorphisms of Q (resp. the irrationals I ) with bounded support is acyclic or not. In the present paper we develop techniques to answer this question in the affirmative.

By constructing the projective lift of a dp-epimorphism, we find a covariant functor E from the category Cd of regular Hausdorff spaces and continuous dp-epimorphisms to its coreflective subcategory εd consisting of projective objects of Cd We use E to show that E(X/G) is homeomorphic to EX/G whenever G is a properly discontinuous group of homeomorphisms of a locally compact Hausdorff space X and X/G is an object of Cd.

A subgroup \(H\) of the group \(S(X)\) of all permutations of a set \(X\) is called \(t\)−representable on \(X\) if there exists a topology \(T\) on \(X\) such that the group of homeomorphisms of \((X, T ) = K\). In this paper we study the \(t\)-representability of maximal subgroups of the symmetric group.
