Propertie s of the automorphism determine properties of the mapping torus and vice-v ersa. Gersten gave a simple example ψ:F3→F3ψ:F3→F3 of an automorphism whos e mapping torus is a 'poison subgroup' for nonpositive curvature\, in the sense that any group containing F3⋊ψZF3⋊ψZ is not a CAT(0) group. In the o pposite direction\, Hagen-Wise and Button-Kropholler proved certain famili es of automorphisms have mapping tori that are cocompactly cubulated. We p rove that a large class of polynomially-growing free group automorphisms a dmitting an additional symmetry have CAT(0) mapping tori. The key tool is a representation of these automorphisms as relative train track maps on or bigraphs\, certain graphs of groups thought of as orbi-spaces. This gives a hierarchy for the mapping torus. It is an interesting question whether o r not our mapping tori are cocompactly cubulated.\n DTSTART:20200129T200000Z DTEND:20200129T210000Z LOCATION:BURN 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Rylee Lyman (Tufts University) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/rylee-lyman-tufts-univers ity-312319 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
