Normal automorphisms of relatively hyperbolic groups
Tuesday November 6, 2007
02:00PM - 02:50PM
Speakers:
Denis Osin
Abstract:
An automorphism of a group $G$ is said to be normal if it stabilizes
each normal subgroup of $G$ setwise. We show that for any
non-elementary relatively hyperbolic group $G$, $Inn(G)$ has finite
index in the group of normal automorphisms $Aut_n(G)$ and
$Aut_n(G)=Inn(G)$ whenever $G$ contains no nontrivial finite normal
subgroups. Moreover, in the later case there exists a single normal
subgroup $N$ of $G$ such that every automorphism stabilizing $N$ is
inner. One of the main ingredients of the proof is group theoretic
Dehn surgery.
