Noncommuting one-parameter subgroups conjecture for continuous interval exchange actions

About 16 years old · traced to

Let E\mathcal{E} be the topological group of continuous interval exchange actions, and let F={ft}F=\{f_t\} and G={gs}G=\{g_s\} be one-parameter subgroups of E\mathcal{E}. Noncommuting one-parameter subgroups conjecture. If FF and GG do not commute, then the group ⟨F,G⟩\langle F,G\rangle has elements that are not contained in any one-parameter subgroup of E\mathcal{E}. The commuting case is described by simultaneous conjugacy to subgroups of a common standard torus action; the conjecture asserts that noncommuting one-parameter subgroups exhibit fundamentally different behavior. Its resolution is not indicated in the source.
