Abstract: The special linear groups, the mapping class groups of surfaces, the outer autormorphism groups of free groups appear in numerous domains. Their analogies, developped in particular in K. Vogtmann's work, have been written about a lot. In this report, we concentrate on the contractible spaces on which these groups act in an analogous way, on the common properties of their subgroups, and on the similar (or conjecturally similar) properties of their asymptotic geometry.
