Abstract

This paper studies the geometric rigidity of the universal Coxeter group of rank nn, which is the free product WnW_n of nn copies of Z/2Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}. We prove that for n4n\geq 4 the group of symmetries of the spine of the Guirardel-Levitt outer space of WnW_n is reduced to the outer automorphism group Out(Wn)\mathrm{Out}(W_n).
