Mapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups are C -simple
We prove that the reduced C -algebras of centerless mapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups are simple, as are the irreducible pure subgroups of mapping class groups and the analogous subgroups of outer automorphism groups of free groups. r 2003 Elsevier Inc.

متن کاملFrom Mapping Class Groups to Automorphism Groups of Free Groups
It is shown that the natural map from the mapping class groups of surfaces to the automorphism groups of free groups induces an infinite loop map on the classifying spaces of the stable groups after plus construction. The proof uses automorphisms of free groups with boundaries which play the role of mapping class groups of surfaces with several boundary components.
متن کاملOn Outer Automorphism Groups of Coxeter Groups
It is shown that the outer automorphism group of a Coxeter group W of nite rank is nite if the Coxeter graph contains no innnite bonds. A key step in the proof is to show that if the group is irreducible and 1 and 2 any two bases of the root system of W, then 2 = w 1 for some w 2 W. The proof of this latter fact employs some properties of the dominance order on the root system introduced by Bri...
متن کاملOuter Automorphism Groups of Bieberbach Groups
Let Γ be a Bieberbach group it is a fundamental group of a flat manifold. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions on Out(Γ) to be infinite. We also compare our result with the previous one ([8], Theorem 7.1) about Anosov automorphisms of flat manifolds. We give several examples of Bieberbach groups.
متن کاملA characterization of simple $K_4$-groups of type $L_2(q)$ and their automorphism groups
In this paper, it is proved that all simple $K_4$-groups of type $L_2(q)$ can be characterized by their maximum element orders together with their orders. Furthermore, the automorphism groups of simple $K_4$-groups of type $L_2(q)$ are also considered.
