Centralisers of linear growth automorphisms of free groups

Centralisers of linear growth automorphisms of free groups
Centralisers of linear growth automorphisms of free groups
In this note we investigate the centraliser of a linearly growing element of Out(Fn) (that is, a root of a Dehn twist automorphism), and show that it has a finite index subgroup mapping onto a direct product of certain "equivariant McCool groups" with kernel a finitely generated free abelian group. In particular, this allows us to show it is VF and hence finitely presented.

Abstract

In this note we investigate the centraliser of a linearly growing element of Out(Fn) (that is, a root of a Dehn twist automorphism), and show that it has a finite index subgroup mapping onto a direct product of certain "equivariant McCool groups" with kernel a finitely generated free abelian group. In particular, this allows us to show it is VF and hence finitely presented.
