Abstract: Let $F_n$ be the free group on $n$ generators. Consider the group $I{A}_n$ of automorphisms of $F_n$ acting trivially on its abelianization. There are two canonical filtrations on $I{A}_n$: the first one is its lower central series $Gamm{a}_{\ast }$; the second one is the Andreadakis filtration $mathcal{A}_{\ast }$, defined from the action on $F_n$. The Andreadakis problem consists in understanding the difference between these filtrations. Here, we show that they coincide when restricted to the subgroup of triangular automorphisms, and to the pure braid group.
