Effective Lie-Kolchin theorem for quasi-unipotent matrices with common eigenvector.
problem Establishing conditions for quasi-unipotent matrices to have a common eigenvector.
method Using the Jordan Canonical Form and properties of quasi-unipotent matrices.
result Quasi-unipotent matrices A and B have a common eigenvector under certain conditions. The proof of the Tits alternative for Out(Fn) is completed. The main tool is a Kolchin type theorem, proved in this paper. It states that a finitely generated subgroup of Out(Fn) consisting of unipotent automorphisms can be conjugated into an upper-triangular subgroup (this is interpreted via train-tracks).
This is the second in a series of four papers (with research announcement posted on this arXiv) that together develop a decomposition theory for subgroups of Out(F_n). In this paper we relativize the "Kolchin-type theorem" from the work of Bestvina, Feighn, and Handel on the Tits alternative, which describes a decompos…
