چکیده
The pure symmetric automorphism group of a finitely generated free group consists of those automorphisms which send each standard generator to a conjugate of itself. We prove that these groups are duality groups.

Automorphism Group of a Possible 2-(121, 16, 2) Symmetric Design
Let D be a symmetric 2-(121, 16, 2) design with the automorphism group of Aut(D). In this paper the order of automorphism of prime order of Aut(D) is studied, and some results are obtained about the number of fixed points of these automorphisms. Also we will show that |Aut(D)|=2p 3q 5r 7s 11t 13u, where p, q, r, s, t and u are non-negative integers such that r, s, t, u ? 1. In addition we prese...
متن کاملSome properties of marginal automorphisms of groups
AbstractLet W be a non-empty subset of a free group. The automorphism of a group G is said to be a marginal automorphism, if for all x in G,x^−1alpha(x) in W^*(G), where W^*(G) is the marginal subgroup of G.In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient condition for a purelynon-abelian p-group G, such that the set of all marginal automorphismsof G forms an elementary abelian p-group.
متن کاملFiniteness Properties for a Subgroup of the Pure Symmetric Automorphism Group
Let Fn be the free group on n generators, and let PΣn be the group of automorphisms of Fn that send each generator to a conjugate of itself. The kernel Kn of the homomorphism PΣn → PΣn−1, induced by mapping one of the free group generators to the identity, is finitely generated. We show that Kn has cohomological dimension n − 1, and that Hi(Kn;Z) is not finitely generated for 2 ≤ i ≤ n − 1. It ...
متن کاملAutomorphisms of Free Groups with Boundaries
The automorphisms of free groups with boundaries form a family of groups An,k closely related to mapping class groups, with the standard automorphisms of free groups as An,0 and (essentially) the symmetric automorphisms of free groups as A0,k . We construct a contractible space Ln,k on which An,k acts with finite stabilizers and finite quotient space and deduce a range for the virtual cohomolog...
متن کاملStable Representatives for Symmetric Automorphisms of Groups and the General Form of the Scott Conjecture
Let G be a group acting on a tree X such that all edge stabilizers are finite. We extend Bestvina-Handel’s theory of train tracks for automorphisms of free groups to automorphisms of G which permute vertex stabilizers. Using this extension we show that there is an upper bound depending only on G for the complexity of the graph of groups decomposition of the fixed subgroups of such automorphisms...
