Fixed Points of abelian actions on
John Franks, Michael Handel, Kamlesh Parwani
We prove that if is a finitely generated abelian group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of which leaves invariant a compact set then there is a common fixe…
Parageometric outer automorphisms of free groups
Michael Handel, Lee Mosher
We study those fully irreducible outer automorphisms phi of a finite rank free group F_r which are ``parageometric'', meaning that the attracting fixed point of phi in the boundary…
The expansion factors of an outer automorphism and its inverse
Michael Handel, Lee Mosher
A fully irreducible outer automorphism phi of the free group F_n of rank n has an expansion factor which often differs from the expansion factor of the inverse of phi. Nevertheless…
Distortion Elements in Group actions on surfaces
John Franks, Michael Handel
If $\G$ is a finitely generated group with generators then an infinite order element $f \in \G$ is a {\em distortion element} of $\G$ provided $\displaystyle{\lim…
Solvable subgroups of Out(F_n) are virtually abelian
Mladen Bestvina, Mark Feighn, Michael Handel
A companion result of the the Tits alternative for is proved: Every solvable subgroup of is finitely generated and virtually abelian.
The Tits Alternative for II: A Kolchin Type Theorem
Mladen Bestvina, Mark Feighn, Michael Handel
The proof of the Tits alternative for is completed. The main tool is a Kolchin type theorem, proved in this paper. It states that a finitely generated subgroup of $Out(F…
