Abstract

Let $ℰ$ denote the group of all interval exchange transformations on $0 \leq x < 1$ Given a suitable topological group structure on $ℰ$ , it is possible to classify all one-parameter interval exchange actions (continuous homomorphisms $ℝ \to ℰ$ ). In particular, up to conjugacy in $ℰ$ , any one-parameter interval exchange action factors through a rotational torus action.
