Euler characteristics and actions of automorphism groups of free groups

Shengkui Ye

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 18 (2018) 1195–1204
Abstract

Let Mr be a connected orientable manifold with the Euler characteristic χ(M)0mod6. Denote by SAut(Fn) the unique subgroup of index two in the automorphism group of a free group. Then any group action of SAut(Fn) (and thus the special linear group SLn()) with n r + 2 on Mr by homeomorphisms is trivial. This confirms a conjecture related to Zimmer’s program for these manifolds.
