 On the non-vanishing of the cohomology of Aut(Fn) and Out(Fn) in top dimensions

Damien Gaboriau, École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, Francia

Resumen:

Few results are know about the L2-Betti numbers of Aut(Fn) and Out(Fn)the groups of automorphisms (resp. outer automorphisms) of the free group FnTheir virtual geometric dimension (smallest dimension of a K(G,1) for torsion-free finite index subgroups) are 2n2, resp. 2n3I shall show that the top-dimensional L2-Betti numbers of Aut(Fn) and  Out(Fn) do not vanish.

By Lück approximation theorem, this implies that these groups admit finite index subgroups with non-vanishing top-dimensional  rational cohomology; in fact the usual Betti numbers for finite index subgroups grow linearly with the index.

I will review the basics of the theory and stay at an elementary level.
