| contents | Every irreducible outer automorphism of the free group of rank r is topologically represented by an irreducible train track map $f$ on some graph $Γ$ of rank r. Moreover, $f$ can always be written as a composition of folds and a graph isomorphism. We give a lower bound on the stretch factor of an irreducible outer automorphism in terms of the number of folds of $f$ and the number of edges in $Γ$. In the case that $f$ is periodic on the vertex set of $Γ$, we show a precise notion of the latent symmetry of $Γ$ gives a lower bound on the number of folds required. We use this notion of latent symmetry to classify all possible irreducible single fold train track maps. |
