A weak Zassenhaus Lemma for discrete subgroups of $\operatorname{Diff}(I)$

Abstract

We prove a weaker version of the Zassenhaus Lemma for subgroups of $Diff (I)$ . We also show that a group with commutator subgroup containing a non-Abelian free subsemigroup does not admit a $C_{0}$ –discrete faithful representation in $Diff (I)$ .

Keywords
