##### Abstract

Let ${M}^{r}$ be a connected orientable manifold with the Euler characteristic $\chi \left(M\right)\not\equiv 0mod6$. Denote by $SAut\left({F}_{n}\right)$ the unique subgroup of index two in the automorphism group of a free group. Then any group action of $SAut\left({F}_{n}\right)$ (and thus the special linear group ${SL}_{n}\left(ℤ\right)$) with $n\ge r+2$ on ${M}^{r}$ by homeomorphisms is trivial. This confirms a conjecture related to Zimmer’s program for these manifolds.
