Let BS(1,n) = 〈a,b∣aba−1 = bn〉 be the solvable Baumslag–Solitar group, where n ≥ 2. It is known that BS(1,n) is isomorphic to the group generated by the two affine maps of the line: f0(x) = x + 1 and h0(x) = nx. The action on S1 = ℝ ∪∞ generated by these two affine maps f0 and h0 is called the standard affine one. We prove that any faithful representation of BS(1,n) into Diff1(S1) is semiconjugated (up to a finite index subgroup) to the standard affine action.
Keywords: circle diffeomorphism, solvable Baumslag–Solitar group
