Some comments on piecewise-projective groups of the line

Nicolas Monod
2025

Abstract

We consider groups of piecewise-projective homeomorphisms of the line which are known to be non-amenable using notably the Carrière–Ghys theorem on ergodic equivalence relations. Replacing that theorem by an explicit fixed-point argument, we can strengthen the conclusion and exhibit uncountably many “amenability gaps” between various piecewise-projective groups.
