摘要

We consider, on a compact manifold, the group of diffeomorphisms that are isotopic to the identity. We show that every recurrent element is a distortion element. To prove this, we generalize a method used by Avila in the case of the group of diffeomorphisms of the circle. The method also provides a new proof of a result by Calegari and Freedman: on a sphere, in the group of homeomorphisms that are isotopic to the identity, every element is distorted.
