Abstract

In this article, we solve the twisted conjugacy problem with respect to endomorphisms for solvable Baumslag--Solitar groups BS(1,n)BS(1,n), i.e., we propose an algorithm which, given two elements u,vBS(1,n)u,v \in BS(1,n) and an endomorphism ψEnd(BS(1,n))\psi \in End(BS(1,n)), decides whether v=(xψ)1uxv=(x\psi)^{-1} u x for some xBS(1,n)x\in BS(1,n). Also, we connect the outer fixed points of a given endomorphism ψ\psi with φ\varphi-twisted conjugacy problem for two words u,vBS(1,n)u, v \in BS(1,n), where φEnd(BS(1,n))\varphi \in End(BS(1,n)) and u,vu, v depend on ψ\psi. Furthermore, we define the weakly (outer) fixed points and discuss its interplay with the endo-twisted conjugacy problem in BS(1,n)BS(1, n).
