In particular, we show that it is generated by two crossed homomorphisms constructed with the Magnus representation and the Magnus expansion due to Morita and Kawazumi respectively. As a corollary, we see that the first Johnson homomorphism does not extend to the automorphism group of a free group as a crossed homomorphism for the rank of the free group is greater than 4.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-05-18T03:56:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F28" ], "keywords": [ "free group", "ia-automorphism group", "coefficients", "abelianization", "twisted first cohomology group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
