Abstract
In this two part work we prove that for every finitely generated subgroup Γ>Out(Fn)\Gamma >{\mathsf {Out}}(F_n), either Γ\Gamma is virtually abelian or Hb2(Γ;R)H^2_b(\Gamma ;{\mathbb {R}}) contains a vector space embedding of ℓ1\ell ^1. The method uses actions on hyperbolic spaces. In Part I we focus on the case of infinite lamination subgroups Γ\Gamma—those for which the set of all attracting laminations of all elements of Γ\Gamma is an infinite set—using actions on free splitting complexes of free groups. In Part II we focus on finite lamination subgroups Γ\Gamma and on the construction of useful new hyperbolic actions of those subgroups.
