Abstract
Let be a smooth diffeomorphism of the half-line fixing only the origin and its centralizer in the group of diffeomorphisms. According to well-known results of Szekeres and Kopell, is a one-parameter group. On the other hand, Sergeraert constructed an whose centralizer , , reduces to the infinite cyclic group generated by . We show that can actually be a proper dense and uncountable subgroup of and that this phenomenon is not scarce.
