Reviews

"“Great care has been taken to both make the book essentially self-contained, and to motivate the core questions and results by putting them in an engaging and broad context. This makes the book an interesting resource both for researchers interested in a streamlined approach to modern results on critical regularity, and students (or instructors) wanting to learn (or teach) about more classical results on groups of diffeomorphisms in dimension 1.” (Sebastian Hensel, zbMATH 1486.57001, 2022) “It should be suitable for most researchers and graduate students with an interest in learning about differentiable group actions. The authors give complete proofs of all of the main results ... ."" (Michael Hull, MAA Reviews, June 20, 2022)"
