Aut(Fn) actions on representation spaces

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

J. Wiegold conjectured that if n≥3 and G is a finite simple group, then the action of Aut(Fn) on Epi(Fn,G) is transitive. In this note we consider analogous questions where G is a compact Lie group, a non-compact simple analytic group or a simple algebraic group.
