The automorphism group of a finitely generated free group is the normal closure of a single element of order 2. If mm is less than nn then a homomorphism Aut(Fn)Aut(Fm)Aut(F_n)\to Aut(F_m) can have cardinality at most 2. More generally, this is true of homomorphisms from $\Aut(F_n)$ to any group that does not contain an isomorph…
