The mapping torus group of a free group automorphism is hyperbolic relative to the canonical subgroups of polynomial growth 7 0 F. Gautero, M. Lustig 0 2 l November 19, 2008 u J 5 Abstract ] We prove that the mapping torus group F ⋊ Z of any automorphism α of a free R n α G group Fn of finite rank n ≥ 2 is weakly hyperbolic relative to the canonical (up to conju- h. gation) family H (α) of subgroups of Fn which consists of (and contains representatives t of all) conjugacy classes that grow polynomially under iteration of α. Furthermore, we a show that F ⋊ Z is strongly hyperbolic relative to the mapping torus of the family m n α [ H (α). 1 v 1 Introduction 2 2 8 Let Fn be a (non-abelian) free group of finite rank n ≥ 2, and let α be any automorphism 0 . of F . It is well known [3] that elements w ∈ F grow either exponentially or polynomially 7 n n 0 under iteration of α. This terminology is slightly misleading, as in fact it is the translation 7 length || w || of w on the Cayley tree of F with respect to some basis A that is being A n 0 ±1 ′ : considered, which is the same as the word length in A of any cyclically reduced w ∈ Fn v i conjugate to w.
