A Birman exact sequence for the Torelli subgroup of Aut(Fn)

چکیده
We develop an analogue of the Birman exact sequence for the Torelli subgroup of AutpFnq. This builds on earlier work of the authors who studied an analogue of the Birman exact sequence for the entire group AutpFnq. These results play an important role in the authors’ recent work on the second homology group of the Torelli group.

متن کاملThe complex of partial bases for F n and finite generation of the Torelli subgroup of Aut ( F n ) Matthew Day
We study the complex of partial bases of a free group, which is an analogue for Aut(Fn) of the curve complex for the mapping class group. We prove that it is connected and simply connected, and we also prove that its quotient by the Torelli subgroup of Aut(Fn) is highly connected. Using these results, we give a new, topological proof of a theorem of Magnus that asserts that the Torelli subgroup...
متن کاملCutting and pasting in the Torelli group
We introduce machinery to allow “cut-and-paste”-style inductive arguments in the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group. In the past these arguments have been problematic because restricting the Torelli group to subsurfaces gives different groups depending on how the subsurfaces are embedded. We define a category TSur whose objects are surfaces together with a decoration restricting how th...

متن کاملCongruence Subgroups of the Automorphism Group of a Free Group
Let n ≥ 2 and Fn be the free group of rank n. Its automorphism group Aut(Fn) has a well-known surjective linear representation ρ : Aut(Fn) −→ Aut(Fn/F ′ n) = GLn(Z) where F ′ n denotes the commutator subgroup of Fn. By Aut (Fn) := ρ(SLn(Z)) we denote the special automorphism group of Fn. For an epimorphism π : Fn → G of Fn onto a finite group G we call Γ(G, π) := {φ ∈ Aut(Fn) | πφ = π} the stan...
