Direct products of free groups in ${\rm{Aut}}(F_N)$

Martin R. Bridson, Richard D. Wade

Published 2022-09-02Version 1

We give a complete description of the embeddings of direct products of nonabelian free groups into ${{\rm{Aut}}}(F_N)$ and ${{\rm{Out}}}(F_N)$ when the number of direct factors is maximal. To achieve this, we prove that the image of each such embedding has a canonical fixed point of a particular type in the boundary of Outer space.
