Digraphs and cycle polynomials for free-by-cyclic groups

Geometry & Topology 19 (2015) 1111–1154
Abstract

Let ϕ Out(Fn) be a free group outer automorphism that can be represented by an expanding, irreducible train-track map. The automorphism ϕ determines a free-by-cyclic group Γ = Fn ϕ and a homomorphism α H1(Γ; ). By work of Neumann, Bieri, Neumann and Strebel, and Dowdall, Kapovich and Leininger, α has an open cone neighborhood A in H1(Γ; ) whose integral points correspond to other fibrations of Γ whose associated outer automorphisms are themselves representable by expanding irreducible train-track maps. In this paper, we define an analog of McMullen’s Teichmüller polynomial that computes the dilatations of all outer automorphisms in A.
