On homeomorphisms and quasi-isometries of the real line

چکیده
We show that the group of piecewise-linear homeomorphisms of R having bounded slopes surjects onto the group QI(R) of all quasi-isometries of R. We prove that the following groups can be imbedded in QI(R): the group of compactly supported piecewise-linear homeomorphisms of R, the Richard Thompson group F , and the free group of continuous rank.

Quasi-isometric Extensions of Quasisymmetric Mappings of the Real Line Compatible with Composition
We show that it is possible to extend, in a homomorphic fashion, each quasisymmetric homeomorphism of the real line to a quasi-isometry of the upper-half plane. Epstein and Markovic have recently shown that a homomorphic extension to quasiconformal homeomorphisms of the upper-half plane is not possible.
متن کاملIsometries on Quasi–normed Cones and Bicompletion
We show that every quasi–norm p on a (real) cancellative cone X induces in a natural way an extended quasi–metric ep on X for which (X, ep) is an extended quasi–metric cone. We prove that the structure of a quasi– normed cone is preserved by bicompletion, under bijective isometries. In fact, we observe that isometries are not necessarily injective in this setting. Some illustrative examples are...
متن کاملSurjective Real-Linear Uniform Isometries Between Complex Function Algebras
In this paper, we first give a description of a surjective unit-preserving real-linear uniform isometry $ T : A longrightarrow B$, where $ A $ and $ B $ are complex function spaces on compact Hausdorff spaces $ X $ and $ Y $, respectively, whenever ${rm ER}left (A, Xright ) = {rm Ch}left (A, Xright )$ and ${rm ER}left (B, Yright ) = {rm Ch}left (B, Yright )$. Next, we give a description of $ T...

متن کاملSmoothness of Isometries between Subriemannian Manifolds
Abstract In a joint work with Enrico Le Donne (Jyvaskyla, Finland) we show that the group of isometries (i.e., distance-preserving homeomorphisms) of an equiregular subRiemannian manifold is a finitedimensional Lie group of smooth transformations. The proof is based on a new PDE argument, in the spirit of harmonic coordinates, establishing that in an arbitrary subRiemannian manifold there exist...
