Abstract

We show that the group of piecewise-linear homeomorphisms of R having bounded slopes surjects onto the group QI(R) of all quasi-isometries of R. We prove that the following groups can be imbedded in QI(R): the group of compactly supported piecewise-linear homeomorphisms of R, the Richard Thompson group F, and the free group of continuous rank.
