Hyperbolic automorphisms of free groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that an automorphism φ : F → F of a finitely generated free group F is hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov if it has no nontrivial periodic conjugacy classes. This result was previously claimed (but not proved) in [BF92].

O ct 2 00 5 On the residual finiteness of outer automorphisms of relatively hyperbolic groups
We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer au-tomorphism group of a conjugacy separable hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a result, we are able to prove that the group of outer automorphisms of every finitely generated Fuchsian group and of every free-by-finite group is residually finite. We also generalise the main result for relatively hyperbolic groups.

متن کاملAutomorphisms of Hyperbolic Groups and Graphs of Groups
Using the canonical JSJ splitting, we describe the outer automorphism group Out(G) of a one-ended word hyperbolic group G. In particular, we discuss to what extent Out(G) is virtually a direct product of mapping class groups and a free abelian group, and we determine for which groups Out(G) is infinite. We also show that there are only finitely many conjugacy classes of torsion elements in Out(...
متن کاملSplittings and automorphisms of relatively hyperbolic groups
We study automorphisms of a relatively hyperbolic group G. When G is oneended, we describe Out(G) using a preferred JSJ tree over subgroups that are virtually cyclic or parabolic. In particular, when G is toral relatively hyperbolic, Out(G) is virtually built out of mapping class groups and subgroups of GLn(Z) fixing certain basis elements. When more general parabolic groups are allowed, these ...
