Rigidity of the free factor complex
Abstract
We establish the following non-abelian analogue of the Fundamental Theorem of Projective Geometry: the natural map from Aut(Fn) to the automorphism group of the free-factor complex AFn is an isomorphism. We also prove the corresponding theorem for the action of Out(Fn) on the complex of conjugacy classes of free factors.
