Boundary amenability of $Out(F_N)$

Abstract

We prove that Out(FN)Out(F_N) is boundary amenable. This also holds more generally for Out(G)Out(G), where GG is either a toral relatively hyperbolic group or a finitely generated right-angled Artin group. As a consequence, all these groups satisfy the Novikov conjecture on higher signatures.
