Abstract: Inspired by results of Eskin and Mirzakhani counting closed geodesics of length $leL$ in the moduli space of a fixed closed surface, we consider a similar question in the $Out(F_r)$ setting. The Eskin-Mirzakhani result can be equivalently stated in terms of counting the number of conjugacy classes (within the mapping class group) of pseudo-Anosovs whose dilitations have natural logarithm $leL$. Let $mathfrak{N}_r(L)$ denote the number of $Out(F_r)$-conjugacy classes of fully irreducibles satisfying that the natural logarithm of their dilatation is $leL$. We prove for $rge3$ that as $Loinfty$, the number $mathfrak{N}_r(L)$ has double exponential (in $L$) lower and upper bounds. These bounds reveal behavior not present in the surface setting or in classical hyperbolic dynamical systems.
