Dynamics of free group automorphisms
We present a coarse convexity result for the dynamics of free group automorphisms: Given an automorphism φ of a finitely generated free group F , we show that for all x ∈ F and 0 ≤ i ≤ N , the length of φ(x) is bounded above by a constant multiple of the sum of the lengths of x and φ (x), with the constant depending only on φ.
متن کاملOuter automorphisms of free Burnside groups
In this paper, we study some properties of the outer automorphism group of free Burnside groups of large odd exponent. In particular, we prove that it contains free and free abelian subgroups.
متن کاملParageometric Outer Automorphisms of Free Groups
We study those fully irreducible outer automorphisms φ of a finite rank free group Fr which are parageometric, meaning that the attracting fixed point of φ in the boundary of outer space is a geometric R-tree with respect to the action of Fr, but φ itself is not a geometric outer automorphism in that it is not represented by a homeomorphism of a surface. Our main result shows that the expansion...
متن کاملComplexes with free actions by the group of automorphisms of a free group
We define two finite-dimensional complexes on which the group Aut(Fn) acts freely, and study their homotopy groups. The definitions of these complexes were motivated by lowdimensional pseudo-isotopy theory. So not surprisingly, the complexes are related to a number of spaces arising in algebraic K-theory, and to another in low-dimensional topology. The complexes are denoted by Xn and X alg n . ...
متن کاملA Characterization of Periodic Automorphisms of a Free Group
Let 9 be an automorphism of finite order of a free group X. We characterise the action of 9 on X by showing that X has a free basis which is the disjoint union of finite subsets Sj, where if S,, ~ {uq, «,,..., uk) then u¡9 ~ ul+x (0 < 1 < k) and uk9 = AjUqBj for some A}, B¡ in X and e = ±1. As an application of this result, we obtain a list of the conjugacy classes of periodic automorphisms of ...
