Abstract
For a positive integer [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be a free group of rank [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the subgroup of the automorphism group of [Formula: see text] consisting of all automorphisms which induce the identity on the abelianization of [Formula: see text]. We write [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the upper McCool group and the partial inner automorphism group, respectively. We show that [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to the quotient of [Formula: see text] by its center and we prove similar results for their associated graded Lie algebras and their Andreadakis–Johnson Lie algebras. Furthermore, we give a presentation of the associated graded Lie algebra over the integers of [Formula: see text] and we prove that it admits a natural embedding into the Andreadakis–Johnson Lie algebra of [Formula: see text]. Although the latter results are known, we present proofs based on different methods.
