The rhombic dodecahedron and semisimple actions of Aut(F-n) on CAT (0) spaces

We consider actions of automorphism groups of free groups by semisimple isometries on complete CAT(0) spaces. If n ≥ 4 then each of the Nielsen generators of Aut(Fn) has a fied point. If n = 3 then either each of the Nielsen generators has a fixed point, or else they are hyperbolic and each Nielsen-...
