Let F n be a free group with rank n, and denote by Out F n its outer automorphism group. For arbitrary n, consider the orders of periodic elements in Out F n or, equivalently, the orders of finite cyclic subgroups of Out F n . By considering group actions on finite connected graphs, we obtained the
Every group is an outer automorphism group of a locally finite p-group. This extends an earlier result [M. Dugas, R. GΓΆbel, On locally finite p-groups and a problem of Philip Hall's, J. Algebra 159 (1) (1993) 115-138] about countable outer automorphism groups. It is also in sharp contrast to results
