Abstract: For any 3-manifold M with torus boundary, we find finitely generated subgroups of \Diff0(∂M) whose actions do not extend to actions on M; in many cases, there is even no action by homeomorphisms. The obstructions are both dynamical and cohomological in nature. We also show that, if ∂M=S2, there is no section of the map \Diff0(M)→\Diff0(∂M). This answers a question of Ghys for particular manifolds and gives tools for progress on the general program of bordism of group actions. This is a joint work with Kathryn Mann.
