| Dec 22, 2010 at 16:52 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | @Igor: It's true that not all homeomorphisms are smooth, but homeomorphism and diffeomorphism groups are always comparable as there's an injection from one to the other. @Hugo: in general MO isn't a place for "tell me about X" type questions. Question-askers have an obligation to be fairly specific. Other than your first "what can we say in general about..." question, it appears your more specific questions have been answered. | |

| Dec 22, 2010 at 16:25 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | Diffeomorphism group is quite different from the homeomorphism group, in general (and diffeomorphism group for different degrees of smoothness are quite different from one another. | |
| Dec 22, 2010 at 15:45 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | (2) generally no. (1) see Landsburg's answer below. If you want to get a sense for $Aut(M)$ search MO for things like "diffeomorphism group". Also, there's this: mathoverflow.net/questions/18034/can-we-decompose-diffmxn | |
| Dec 22, 2010 at 14:32 | comment | added | Hugo Chapdelaine | Indeed Daniel, the question is quite broad! | |
| Dec 22, 2010 at 14:26 | comment | added | Daniel Moskovich | I find the question much too broad. | |
