Abstract
Let be a system of free factors of . The group of relative automorphisms is the group given by the automorphisms of that restricted to each are conjugations by elements in . The group of relative outer automorphisms is defined as , where is the normal subgroup of given by all the inner automorphisms. We define a contractible space on which acts with finite stabilizers and we compute the virtual cohomological dimension of this group.
