On generalized (twisted) conjugacy separability of some extensions of groups

Group Theory 2025-02-03 v1

Abstract

We introduce separability properties corresponding to generalized versions of the conjugacy, twisted conjugacy, Brinkmann and Brinkmann's conjugacy problems and how they relate when finite and cyclic extensions of groups are taken. In particular, we prove that some (concrete) generalizations of twisted conjugacy separability of a group GG with respect to virtually inner automorphisms are equivalent to some (concrete) generalizations of the conjugacy problem in finite extensions of GG. Similarly, (generalized) conjugacy separability in cyclic extensions of GG implies (generalized) twisted conjugacy and Brinkmann's conjugacy separability in GG. Applications include results in free, virtually abelian, virtually polycyclic groups and a proof that virtually free times free groups are conjugacy separable.
