Abstract: | For a PL homeomorphism f with irrational rotation number , the following properties are equivalent(i) f is conjugate to the rotation by through a piecewise C 1 homeomorphism,(ii) the number of break points of f n is bounded by some constant that doesnt depend on n,(iii) f is conjugate to an affine 2-intervals exchange transformation (with rotation number ) through a PL homeomorphism,(iv) f is conjugate to the rotation by through a piecewise analytic homeomorphism. |
