Bonatti's splitting conjecture for minimal circle actions

Let GHomeo+(S1)G\leq \operatorname{Homeo}_+(S^1) be a subgroup such that every non-trivial element has at most two fixed points, and whose action on S1S^1 is minimal. Assume that the action of GG is not semi-conjugate to any subgroup of PSL2(R)Homeo+(S1)\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})\leq \operatorname{Homeo}_+(S^1). Bonatti's conjecture. Then GG splits as an amalgamated product over an abelian subgroup. This conjecture concerns the structure of groups with hyperbolic-like circle dynamics; the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
