Property FW and 1-dimensional piecewise groups
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 359 (2021) no. 1, pp. 71-78.

Property FW is a natural combinatorial weakening of Kazhdan’s Property T. We prove that the group of piecewise homographic self-transformations of the real projective line, has “few” infinite subgroups with Property FW. In particular, no such subgroup is amenable or has Kazhdan’s Property T. These results are extracted from a longer paper. We provide a complete proof, whose main tools are the use of the notion of partial action and of one-dimensional geometric structures.
