摘要
Let F-n be the free group of rank n, let Aut(F-n) be its automorphism group and let Out(F-n) be its outer automorphism group. We show that every solvable subgroup of Out(F-n) has a finite index subgroup that is finitely generated and free Abelian. We also show that every Abelian subgroup of Out(F-n) has a finite index subgroup that lifts to Aut(F-n).
