Bestvina—Feighn proved that Aut(F_n) is a rational duality group, i.e. there is a Q[Aut(F_n)]-module, called the rational dualizing module, and a form of Poincare duality relating the rational cohomology of Aut(F_n) to its homology with coefficients in this module. Bestvina—Feighn’s proof does not give an explicit combinatorial description of the rational dualizing module of Aut(F_n). But, inspired by Borel—Serre’s description of the rational dualizing module of arithmetic groups, Hatcher—Vogtmann constructed an analogous module for Aut(F_n) and asked if it is the rational dualizing module. In work with Miller, Nariman, and Putman, we show that Hatcher—Vogtmann’s module is not the rational dualizing module.
