2 9 A ug 2 00 6 THE OUTER SPACE OF A FREE PRODUCT

چکیده
We associate a contractible “outer space” to any free product of groups G = G1 ∗ · · · ∗ Gq. It equals Culler-Vogtmann space when G is free, McCulloughMiller space when no Gi is Z. Our proof of contractibility (given when G is not free) is based on Skora’s idea of deforming morphisms between trees. Using the action of Out(G) on this space, we show that Out(G) has finite virtual cohomological dimension, or is VFL (it has a finite index subgroup with a finite classifying space), if the groups Gi and Out(Gi) have similar properties. We deduce that Out(G) is VFL if G is a torsion-free hyperbolic group, or a limit group (finitely generated fully residually free group).

We derive the phase space density of bosons from a general boson interfer-ometry formula. We find that the phase space density is connected with the two-particles and the single particle density distribution functions. If the bo-son density is large, the two particles density distribution function can not be expressed as a product of two single particle density distributions. However , if the b...

In this paper, we study the subalgebra generated by two Ising vectors in the Griess algebra of a vertex operator algebra. We show that the structure of it is uniquely determined by some inner products of Ising vectors. We prove that the order of the product of two τ -involutions is less than or equal to 6 and we determine the inner product of two Ising vectors.

The semilinear wave equation on the (outer) Schwarzschild manifold is studied. We prove local decay estimates for general (non-radial) data, deriving a-priori Morawetz type inequalities.

We give a systematic definition of the fundamental groups of gropes, which we call grope groups. We show that there exists a nontrivial homomorphism from the minimal grope group M to another grope group G only if G is the free product of M with another grope group.
