Points with finite orbits for trace maps

Publication date: 8 November 2016

Abstract: We study an action of

m A u t (F_{n})

on

m a t h b b R^{2^{n} - 1}

by trace maps, defined using the traces of

n

-tuples of matrices in

m a t h r m S L (2, m a t h b b C)

having real traces. We determine the finite orbits for this action. These orbits essentially come from (i) the finite subgroups of

m a t h r m S L (2, m a t h b b C)

, and (ii) a dense set of (rational) points in an embedded quotient of an

n

-torus.
