Abstract

We show that the outer automorphism groups of graph products of finitely generated abelian groups satisfy the Tits alternative, are residually finite, their so-called Torelli subgroups are finitely generated, and they satisfy a dichotomy between being virtually nilpotent and containing a nonabelian free subgroup that is determined by a graphical condition on the underlying labeled graph.

Graph products of finitely generated abelian groups simultaneously generalize right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs) and right-angled Coxeter groups (RACGs), providing a common framework for studying these groups. Our results extend a number of known results for the outer automorphism groups of RAAGs and/or RACGs by a variety of authors, including Caprace, Charney, Day, Ferov, Guirardel, Horbez, Minasyan, Vogtmann, Wade, and the current authors.
