Margulis’s superrigidity theorem (see [22]) says that if Γ is an irreducible lattice in a real semisimple 1 Lie group G of rank at least two, then any homomorphism Γ→ H into a simple Lie group H has bounded image or extends to a homomorphism G→ H, and the image is always bounded when H is a p-adic group. In this note we give two examples of nonlinear superrigidity: one for mapping class groups and Teichmüller space, another for diffeomorphism groups of surfaces.Let S be a compact, orientable, connected surface, possibly with boundary. The mapping class group Mod (S) is the group Homeo+(S)/Homeo 0 (S) of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of S. The proof of our first result will come directly from theorems of Kazhdan–Margulis and Kaimanovich–Masur, together with some structure theory of Mod (S).
