The complex of partial bases for F n and finite generation of the Torelli subgroup of Aut ( F n ) Matthew Day

چکیده
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 of Aut(Fn) is finitely generated.

On Marginal Automorphisms of a Group Fixing the Certain Subgroup
Let W be a variety of groups defined by a set W of laws and G be a finite p-group in W. The automorphism α of a group G is said to bea marginal automorphism (with respect to W), if for all x ∈ G, x−1α(x) ∈ W∗(G), where W∗(G) is the marginal subgroup of G. Let M,N be two normalsubgroups of G. By AutM(G), we mean the subgroup of Aut(G) consistingof all automorphisms which centralize G/M. AutN(G) ...
متن کاملGrowth of meromorphic solutions for complex difference equations of Malmquist type
In this paper, we give some necessary conditions for a complex difference equation of Malmquist type $$sum^n_{j=1}f(z+c_j)=frac{P(f(z))}{Q(f(z))},$$ where $n(in{mathbb{N}})geq{2}$, and $P(f(z))$ and $Q(f(z))$ are relatively prime polynomials in $f(z)$ with small functions as coefficients, admitting a meromorphic function of finite order. Moreover, the properties of finite o...
متن کاملGroups in which every subgroup has finite index in its Frattini closure
In 1970, Menegazzo [Gruppi nei quali ogni sottogruppo e intersezione di sottogruppi massimali, Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Rend. Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Natur. 48 (1970), 559--562.] gave a complete description of the structure of soluble $IM$-groups, i.e., groups in which every subgroup can be obtained as intersection of maximal subgroups. A group $G$ is said to have the $FM$...
متن کاملON THE CHARACTERISTIC DEGREE OF FINITE GROUPS
In this article we introduce and study the concept of characteristic degree of a subgroup in a finite group. We define the characteristic degree of a subgroup H in a finite group G as the ratio of the number of all pairs (h,α) ∈ H×Aut(G) such that h^α∈H, by the order of H × Aut(G), where Aut(G) is the automorphisms group of G. This quantity measures the probability that H can be characteristic ...
متن کاملSome results on value distribution of the difference operator
In this article, we consider the uniqueness of the difference monomials $f^{n}(z)f(z+c)$. Suppose that $f(z)$ and $g(z)$ are transcendental meromorphic functions with finite order and $E_k(1, f^{n}(z)f(z+c))=E_k(1, g^{n}(z)g(z+c))$. Then we prove that if one of the following holds (i) $n geq 14$ and $kgeq 3$, (ii) $n geq 16$ and $k=2$, (iii) $n geq 22$ and $k=1$, then $f(z)equiv t_1g(z)$ or $f(...
