Abstract

This paper, which is the last of a series of three papers, studies dynamical properties of elements of Out(Fn)\mathrm{Out}(F_{\tt n}), the outer automorphism group of a nonabelian free group FnF_{\tt n}. We prove that, for every subgroup HH of Out(Fn)\mathrm{Out}(F_{\tt n}), there exists an element ϕH\phi \in H such that, for every element gg of FnF_{\tt n}, the conjugacy class [g][g] has polynomial growth under iteration of ϕ\phi if and only if [g][g] has polynomial growth under iteration of every element of HH.
