Automorphism groups of free groups, surface groups and free abelian groups
Martin R. Bridson and Karen Vogtmann
In Problems on Mapping Class Groups, edited by B. Farb, Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics 74, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2006, pp. 301-316.
 
In this article we describe some of the more striking features of the deep analogy between GL(n,Z),
automorphism groups of free groups, and mapping class groups. Our main purpose is to present a list of
open questions motivated by this analogy.
