Abstract: Let $F_n$ be the free group on $nge2$ elements and $A(F_n)$ its group of automorphisms. In this paper we present a rich collection of linear representations of $A(F_n)$ arising through the action of finite index subgroups of it on relation modules of finite quotient groups of $F_n$. We show (under certain conditions) that the images of our representations are arithmetic groups.
