Right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs) span a range of groups from free groups to free abelian groups, and thus their (outer) automorphism groups range from Out(F_n) to GL(n,Z).听 These two classes of automorphism groups have been extensively studied from a topological and dynamical point of view using the action of GL(n,Z) on homogeneous space on the one hand, and the action of Out(F_n) on Culler-Vogtmann鈥檚 鈥淥uter Space鈥 on the other.听 I will talk about joint work with Bregman and Vogtmann in which we intertwine these two ideas to construct an analogue of Outer Space for arbitrary RAAGs.
