The isomorphism problem for all hyperbolic groups

Group Theory 2021-04-02 v2

Abstract

We give a solution to Dehn's isomorphism problem for the class of all hyperbolic groups, possibly with torsion. We also prove a relative version for groups with peripheral structures. As a corollary, we give a uniform solution to Whitehead's problem asking whether two tuples of elements of a hyperbolic group GG are in the same orbit under the action of \Aut(G)\Aut(G). We also get an algorithm computing a generating set of the group of automorphisms of a hyperbolic group preserving a peripheral structure.
