Abstract

We define and discuss a notion called fibered commensurability of outer automorphisms of free groups. This notion lets us study symmetry of outer automorphisms. The notion of fibered commensurability is first defined by Calegari-Sun-Wang on mapping class groups. The Nielsen-Thurston type of mapping classes is a commensurability invariant. One of the important facts of fibered commensurability on mapping class groups is for the case of pseudo-Anosovs, there is a unique minimal element in each fibered commensurability class. For outer automorphisms, we first show that being atoroidal and fully irreducible is a commensurability invariant. Then for such outer automorphisms, we prove that there is a unique minimal element in each fibered commensurability class, under a certain asymmetry condition on the ideal Whitehead graphs.
