5 MAPPING CLASS SUBGROUPS OF Out ( F n )
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a covering of the spine of Culler-Vogtmann Outer space by complexes of ribbon graphs. By considering the equivariant homology for the action of Out(Fn) on this covering, we construct a spectral sequence converging to the homology of Out(Fn) that has its E terms given by the homology of mapping class groups and their subgroups. This spectral sequence can be seen as encoding all of the information of how the homology of Out(Fn) is related to the homology of mapping class groups and their subgroups

A SPECTRAL SEQUENCE DETERMINING THE HOMOLOGY OF Out(Fn) IN TERMS OF ITS MAPPING CLASS SUBGROUPS
We construct a covering of the spine of the Culler–Vogtmann outer space Out(F n) by complexes of ribbon graphs. By considering the equivariant homology for the action of Out(F n) on this covering, we construct a spectral sequence converging to the homology of Out(F n) that has its E 1 terms given by the homology of mapping class groups and their subgroups. This spectral sequence can be seen as ...
متن کاملD ec 1 99 7 Solvable subgroups of Out ( F n ) are virtually abelian
Let Fn denote a free group of rank n. The group Out(Fn) contains mapping class groups of compact surfaces and maps onto GL(n,Z). It is perhaps not surprising that Out(Fn) behaves at times like a mapping class group and at times like a linear group. J. Birman, A. Lubotzky, and J. McCarthy [BLM83] showed that solvable subgroups of mapping class groups are finitely generated and virtually abelian....
متن کاملA Generalization of Culler’s Theorem
Culler's theorem states that for a finitely generated free group F, of rank at least 2, any finite subgroup of Out(F) fixes a point in Outer Space. This theorem is comparable to Nieslen Realization: for a closed surface with negative Euler characteristic, any finite subgroup of the mapping class group fixes a point in the Teichmüller sapce for the surface as proved by Kerckhoff. For nonnegative...
متن کاملMapping Class Subgroups of Out(f N )
We construct a covering of Culler-Vogtmann Outer space by the Teichmüller spaces of punctured surfaces. By considering the equivariant homology for the action of Out(Fn) on this covering, we construct a spectral sequence converging to the homology of Out(Fn) that has E terms given by the homology of mapping class groups and groups that are, up to finite index, subgroups of mapping class groups....
متن کاملMorse Theory and Conjugacy Classes of Finite Subgroups
We construct a CAT(0) group containing a finitely presented subgroup with infinitely many conjugacy classes of finiteorder elements. Unlike previous examples (which were based on right-angled Artin groups) our ambient CAT(0) group does not contain any rank 3 free abelian subgroups. We also construct examples of groups of type Fn inside mapping class groups, Aut(Fk), and Out(Fk) which have infin...
