On the Group of All Homeomorphisms of a Manifold
Introduction.It is shown in this paper that the identity component of the group G(M) of all homeomorphisms of a closed manifold of dimension ^3 is(1) simple in the algebraic sense;(2) equal to the group of deformations of M (i.e., the group of homeomorphisms of M isotopic to the identity homeomorphism) …
