Aut-invariant quasimorphisms on free products

Group Theory 2021-03-03 v1

Abstract

Let G=ABG=A \ast B be a free product of freely indecomposable groups. We explicitly construct quasimorphisms on GG which are invariant with respect to all automorphisms of GG. We also prove that the space of such quasimorphisms is infinite-dimensional whenever GG is not the infinite dihedral group. As an application we prove that an invariant analogue of stable commutator length recently introduced by Kawasaki and Kimura is non-trivial for these groups.
