• Given an automorphism of a free group Fn, we consider the following invariants: e is the number of exponential strata (an upper bound for the number of different exponential growth rates of conjugacy classes); d is the maximal degree of polynomial growth of conjugacy classes; R is the rank of the fixed subgroup. We determine precisely which triples (e, d, R) may be realized by an automorphism of Fn. In particular, the inequality $${{e \leq \frac{3n-2}{4}}}$$ (due to Levitt–Lustig) always holds… CONTINUE READING
