Abstract: In this paper, we study some properties of the outer automorphism group of free Burnside groups of large odd exponent. In particular, we prove that it contains free and free abelian subgroups.

Review text

The main result of this paper is: Let \(1\to H\to G\to F\to 1\) be a short exact sequence of groups. Assume that \(H\) is non-trivial, finitely generated, \(G\) is hyperbolic, non-elementary, torsion-free and \(F\) is torsion-free. Then there exists an integer \(n_0\) such that, for all odd integers \(n\geq n_0\), the canonical map \(F\to\mathrm{Out}(H)\) induces an injective homomorphism \(F\hookrightarrow\mathrm{Out}(H/H^n)\). Let \(\mathbf B_r(n)\) be the free Burnside group of rank \(r\) and exponent \(n\) and let \(\mathbf F_2\) be the free group of rank \(2\). As a consequence of the previous result the author obtains the following theorems. Theorem 2. Let \(r\geq 3\), then there is an integer \(n_0\) such that for all odd integers \(n\geq n_0\), the group \(\mathrm{Out}(\mathbf B_r(n))\) contains a subgroup isomorphic to \(\mathbf F_2\). Theorem 3. Let \(r\geq 1\), then there is an integer \(n_0\) such that for all odd integers \(n\geq n_0\), the groups \(\mathrm{Out}(\mathbf B_{2r}(n))\) and \(\mathrm{Out}(\mathbf B_{2r+1}(n))\) contain a subgroup isomorphic to \(\mathbb Z^r\).
