Course description
Outer space is a contractible space with a proper action of the group of outer automorphisms of a free group. It should be thought of as analogous to a symmetric space with the action of an arithmetic group or the Teichmuller space of a surface with the action of the mapping class group. This course is an introduction to Outer space and its applications to the study of automorphisms of free groups.
