Algorithms for twisted conjugacy classes of polycyclic-by-finite groups II

Group Theory 2026-05-11 v3

Abstract

We construct an algorithm that, given a pair of homomorphisms between polycyclic-by-finite groups, determines whether their Reidemeister number is finite, and if so returns a set of representatives of the twisted conjugacy classes. Moreover, we show how this algorithm can be applied to compute double cosets and orbits of affine actions.
