The abelianization of the congruence IA-automorphism group of a free group
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 April 2007
Abstract
We consider the abelianizations of some normal subgroups of the automorphism group of a finitely generated free group. Let Fn be a free group of rank n. For d ≥ 2, we consider a group consisting the automorphisms of Fn which act trivially on the first homology group of Fn with /d-coefficients. We call it the congruence IA-automorphism group of level d and denote it by IAn,d. Let IOn,d be the quotient group of the congruence IA-automorphism group of level d by the inner automorphism group of a free group. We determine the abelianization of IAn,d and IOn,d for n ≥ 2 and d ≥ 2. Furthermore, for n=2 and odd prime p, we compute the integral homology groups of IA2,p for any dimension.
