Relative Untwisted Outer Space for Right-Angled Artin Groups (2503.09588v1)

Abstract: For G, H two finite collections of finitely generated subgroups of a right-angled Artin group A, the untwisted McCool group U(A; G, Ht) is the subgroup of untwisted outer automorphisms of A preserving the conjugacy class of each element of G and acting trivially up to conjugacy on each element of H. We prove that when the elements of G are standard subgroups of A, U(A; G, Ht) acts properly cocompactly on a finite-dimensional subcomplex of the spine of untwisted outer space for A, providing a geometric model for this group and proof that it is of type VF.
