Abstract

Let F be a finitely generated free group. By using Bestvina-Handel theory, as well as some further improvements, the eigengroups of a given automorphism of F (and its fixed subgroup among them) are globally analyzed and described. In particular, an explicit description of all subgroups of F which occur as the fixed subgroup of some automorphism is given.
