The symmetries of the Outer space of a universal Coxeter group

Abstract: This paper studies the geometric rigidity of the universal Coxeter group of rank

n

, which is the free product

W_{n}

of

n

copies of

m a t h b b Z / 2 m a t h b b Z

. We prove that for

n g e q 4

the group of symmetries of the spine of the Guirardel-Levitt outer space of

W_{n}

is reduced to the outer automorphism group

m a t h r m O u t (W_{n})

.
