Abstract
. We prove that the rational Euler characteristic of Out( F n ) is always negative and its asymptotic growth rate is Γ( n − 32 ) / √ 2 π log 2 n . This settles a 1987 conjecture of J. Smillie and the second author. We establish connections with the Lambert W -function and the zeta function.
