Affine action conjecture for groups acting on the line with finitely many fixed points

Let NNN\in \mathbb{N} and let GHomeo(R)G\leq {\mathrm{Homeo}}(\mathbb{R}) be a subgroup with at most NN fixed points. Let IRI\subset \mathbb{R} be a maximal interval without global fixed points for G+G_+. Affine action conjecture. The restriction of the action of GG to II is semi-conjugate to the action by affine transformations.

The affine transformation group Aff(R)\mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{R}) is the only known example, for any N1N\geq 1, of a group with at most NN fixed points acting minimally on the real line. The conjecture proposes that affine actions account for all such actions on maximal intervals without global fixed points.
