• (New preprint with Thomas Koberda) Diffeomorphism groups of critical regularity

(update: Jan 18, 2018. Now includes all possible real numbers) We prove that for each real numbers a ≥ 1, there exists a finitely generated subgroup G_a of Diff^a(S¹) with the property that G_a admits no injective homomorphisms into Diff^b(S¹) for all b > a. We also prove that there exists another fg group H_a that embeds into Diff^b(S¹) for all b < a, but not into Diff^a(S¹). One can further require the same properties are inherited to all finite index subgroups and to the commutator groups of G_a and of H_a. The commutator groups will be simple.
