Topic:
Relative twisting in Outer space
Description:
The notion of relative twisting of curves on a surface, the special case of subsurface projection to an annulus, is an important tool in the theory of mapping class groups. We develop an analogue for the outer automorphisms of a free group. This is joint work with Matt Clay.
