Résumé

An approach to a classification of groups of line and circle homeomorphisms is discussed, based on chains of inclusions and correspondences of group classes which are induced by various characteristics of the groups. Bibliography: 60 titles.

Détail

Keywords: groups of line (circle) homeomorphisms, projectively invariant measures, amenability, free subgroups, growth of a group.
