TLDR
In this paper, a survey of topological, algebraic, and combinatorial properties of metric invariants for arbitrary groups of homeomorphisms of the line and the circle is presented.
Abstract
This survey is devoted to investigations concerning topological, algebraic, and combinatorial characteristics as well as metric invariants for arbitrary groups of homeomorphisms of the line and the circle. Relationships between these characteristics are established, the most important metric invariants are studied (in the form of invariant, projectively invariant, and ω-projectively invariant measures), and the main 'obstructions' to the existence of metric invariants of this kind are described.

On the dynamics of (left) orderable groups

Andrés Navas

TL;DR: The notion of the Conradian soul of an order as the maximal subgroup which is convex and restricted to which the original ordering satisfies the so-called conradian property was introduced in this article.

Classification of the group actions on the real line and circle

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that each minimal continuous action of a group on the circle is either a conjugate of an isometric action, or a finite cover of a proximal action.

Structure theorems for groups of homeomorphisms of the circle

TL;DR: The set of groups of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle S1 which do not admit non-abelian free subgroups is studied to derive various new and old results about the groups in .
