The Euler characteristic of out (F_n)

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2227781





Summary: We prove that the rational Euler characteristic of Out \((F_n)\) is always negative and its asymptotic growth rate is \(\Gamma (n - \frac{3}{2}) / \sqrt{2 \pi} \log^2n\). This settles a 1987 conjecture of J. Smillie and the second author. We establish connections with the Lambert \(W\)-function and the zeta function.
