Automorphisms of free groups with boundaries.
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: The automorphisms of free groups with boundaries form a family of groups A_{n,k} closely related to mapping class groups, with the standard automorphisms of free groups as A_{n,0} and (essentially) the symmetric automorphisms of free groups as A_{0,k}. We construct a contractible space L_{n,k} on which A_{n,k} acts with finite stabilizers and finite quotient space and deduce a range for the virtual cohomological dimension of A_{n,k}. We also give a presentation of the groups and calculate their first homology group.
The group \(A_{n,k}\) of automorphisms of a free group of rank \(n\) with \(k\) boundaries was introduced by the second author to show that the natural map from the stable mapping class group of surfaces to the stable automorphism group of free groups gives an infinite loop map on the classifying spaces of the groups after plus construction. There are geometrical and algebraical definitions of the groups considered. In the paper under review a contractible space \(L_{n,k}\) is constructed on which \(A_{n,k}\) acts with finite stabilizers and finite quotient space. So a range of the virtual cohomological dimension of \(A_{n,k}\) is deduced.
