Abstract

Given a group GG and an endomorphism φ\varphi of GG, two elements x,yGx, y \in G are said to be φ\varphi-conjugate if x=gyφ(g)1x = gy \varphi(g)^{-1} for some gGg \in G. The number of equivalence classes for this relation is the Reidemeister number R(φ)R(\varphi) of φ\varphi. The set {R(ψ)ψAut(G)}\{R(\psi) \mid \psi \in \mathrm{Aut}(G)\} is called the Reidemeister spectrum of GG. We investigate Reidemeister numbers and spectra on direct products of finitely many groups and determine what information can be derived from the individual factors.
