2–TORSION OF FREE-BY-CYCLIC GROUPS
• Mathematics
• 2016
We provide an upper bound on the 2–torsion of a free-bycyclic group, −ρ(2)(F oΦ Z), in terms of a relative train-track representative for Φ ∈ Aut(F). Our result shares features with a theorem of
The Bieri–Neumann–Strebel invariants via Newton polytopes
We study the Newton polytopes of determinants of square matrices defined over rings of twisted Laurent polynomials. We prove that such Newton polytopes are single polytopes (rather than formal
Dynamics on free-by-cyclic groups

Given a free-by-cyclic group GD FN A’ Z determined by any outer automorphism ’2 Out.FN/ which is represented by an expanding irreducible train-track map f , we construct a K.G;1/ 2‐complex X called
$\ell^{2}$-torsion of free-by-cyclic groups
We provide an upper bound on the $\ell^{2}$-torsion of a free-by-cyclic group, $-\rho^{(2)}(\mathbb{F} \rtimes_{\Phi} \mathbb{Z})$, in terms of a relative train-track representative for \$\Phi \in

The expansion factors of an outer automorphism and its inverse
• Mathematics
• 2004
A fully irreducible outer automorphism o of the free group F n of rank n has an expansion factor which often differs from the expansion factor of o -1 Nevertheless, we prove that the ratio between
Parageometric outer automorphisms of free groups
• Mathematics
• 2004
We study those fully irreducible outer automorphisms o of a finite rank free group F r which are parageometric, meaning that the attracting fixed point of o in the boundary of outer space is a

Asymmetry of Outer space
• Mathematics
• 2009
We study the asymmetry of the Lipschitz metric d on Outer space. We introduce an (asymmetric) Finsler norm $${\|\cdot\|^L}$$ that induces d. There is an Out(Fn)-invariant “potential” Ψ defined on
