Abstract: We determine the precise conditions under which $mathrmSOut(F_n)$, the unique index two subgroup of $mathrmOut(F_n)$, can act non-trivially via outer automorphisms on a RAAG whose defining graph has fewer than $$ vertices. We also show that the outer automorphism group of a RAAG cannot act faithfully via outer automorphisms on a RAAG with a strictly smaller (in number of vertices) defining graph. Along the way we determine the minimal dimensions of non-trivial linear representations of congruence quotients of the integral special linear groups over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero, and provide a new lower bound on the cardinality of a set on which $mathrmSOut(F_n)$ can act non-trivially.
