The recognition theorem for Out(F_n).

Abstract: Our goal is to find dynamic invariants that completely determine elements of the outer automorphism group Out(Fn) of the free group Fn of rank n. To avoid finite order phenomena, we do this for {it forward rotationless} elements. This is not a serious restriction. For example, there is Kn>0 depending only on n such that, for all phiinOut(Fn), phiKn is forward rotationless. An important part of our analysis is to show that rotationless elements are represented by particularly nice relative train track maps.
