Title: Distorted diffeomorphisms and regularity
Abstract: The goal is to deal with the following question: for a compact manifold M, does there exist a diffeomorphism that is distorted in the group of C^r diffeomorphisms yet undistorted in the group of C^s diffeomorphism, where 1 \leq r < s ? Although the answer seems to be positive, it seems hard to build explicit examples (these diffeomorphisms necessarily have zero entropy).
