Points with finite orbits for trace maps

Dynamical Systems 2016-11-10 v1

Abstract

We study an action of Aut(Fn){\rm Aut}(F_n) on R2n1\mathbb{R}^{2^n-1} by trace maps, defined using the traces of nn-tuples of matrices in SL(2,C)\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C}) having real traces. We determine the finite orbits for this action. These orbits essentially come from (i) the finite subgroups of SL(2,C)\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb C), and (ii) a dense set of (rational) points in an embedded quotient of an nn-torus.
