Reidemeister numbers for arithmetic Borel subgroups in type A

Group Theory 2026-02-10 v2

Abstract

The Reidemeister number R(φ)R(\varphi) of a group automorphism φAut(G)\varphi \in \mathrm{Aut}(G) encodes the number of orbits of the φ\varphi-twisted conjugation action of GG on itself, and the Reidemeister spectrum of GG is defined as the set of Reidemeister numbers of all of its automorphisms. We obtain a sufficient criterion for some groups of triangular matrices over integral domains to have property RR_\infty, which means that their Reidemeister spectrum equals {}\{\infty\}. Using this criterion, we show that Reidemeister numbers for certain soluble SS-arithmetic groups behave differently from their linear algebraic counterparts -- contrasting with results of Steinberg, Bhunia, and Bose.
