Alexander and Thurston norms, and the Bieri–Neumann–Strebel invariants for free-by-cyclic groups

We investigate Friedl and Lück’s universal L2–torsion for descending HNN extensions of finitely generated free groups, and so in particular for Fn-by-Z groups. This invariant induces a seminorm on the first cohomology of the group which is an analogue of the Thurston norm for 3–manifold groups. We...
