Review text

The main result of the paper is announced in the title: the automorphism group of a nonabelian free group is not subgroup separable (though it is well known to be residually finite). For the proof, an explicit example due to Burns, Karras and Solitar of a non subgroup separable group (which is the fundamental group of a punctured torus bundle over the circle) is realized as a subgroup of the automorphism group of the free group of rank two. As a consequence, also the braid groups \(B_n\) are not subgroup separable, for \(n\geq 4\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0980.00048].
