Conjugacy problem for subgroups with applications to Artin groups and braid type groups

Group Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Let GG be a group endowed with a solution to the conjugacy problem and with an algorithm which computes the centralizer in GG of any element of GG. Let HH be a subgroup of GG. We give some conditions on HH, under which we provide a solution to the conjugacy problem in HH. We apply our results to some Artin groups and braid type groups. In particular, we give explicit solutions to the conjugacy problem in the Artin groups of type A~n\tilde{A}_n and C~n\tilde{C}_n.
