摘要
We prove that the rank gradient vanishes for mapping class groups of genus greater than 1, Aut(F-n) for all n, Out(F-n), n >= 3 and any Artin group whose underlying graph is connected. These groups have fixed price 1. We compute the rank gradient and verify that it is equal to the first L-2-Betti number for some classes of Coxeter groups.
