Using the methods of Hatcher and Vogtmann, we derive stability results and calculate the mod-$p$ homology of these holomorphs for odd primes $p$ in dimensions 1 and 2, and their rational homology in dimensions 1 through 5. Calculations of the twisted (where $Aut(F_n)$ acts by first projecting to $Gl_n(\\Z)$ and then including in $Gl_n(\\Q)$) homology $H_*(Aut(F_n); \\Q^n)$ follow in corresponding dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-08-13T16:32:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F32", "20J05", "20F28", "55N91" ], "keywords": [ "free group", "semidirect product", "odd primes", "rational homology", "derive stability results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001math.....12187J" } } }
