Let $G$ be a group and $\varphi$ be an automorphism of $G$. Two elements $x, y$ of $G$ are said to be $\varphi$-twisted conjugate if $y=gx\varphi(g)^{-1}$ for some $g\in G$. A group $G$ has the $R_{\infty}$-property if the number of…

Let $\phi:G\to G$ be an automorphism of an infinite group $G$. One has an equivalence relation $\sim_\phi$ on $G$ defined as $x\sim_\phi y$ if there exists a $z\in G$ such that $y=zx\phi(z^{-1})$. The equivalence classes are called…

We consider twisted conjugacy classes of continuous automorphisms $\varphi$ of a Lie group $G$. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on $\varphi$ for its Reidemeister number, the number of twisted conjugacy classes, to be infinite…

In this paper, generalising the idea of the Rokhlin property, we explore the concept of the twisted Rokhlin property of topological groups. A topological group is said to exhibit the twisted Rokhlin property if, for each automorphism $\phi$…

In this short article, we prove that any automorphism of the R. Thompson's group $F$ has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes. The result follows from the work of Matthew Brin, together with a standard facts on R. Thompson's group $F$,…

A group $G$ is said to have the property $R_\infty$ if every automorphism $\phi \in {\rm Aut}(G)$ has an infinite number of $\phi$-twisted conjugacy classes. Recent work of Gon\c{c}alves and Kochloukova uses the $\Sigma^n$…

Given an automorphism $\phi:\Gamma\to \Gamma$, one has an action of $\Gamma$ on itself by $\phi$-twisted conjugacy, namely, $g.x=gx\phi(g^{-1})$. The orbits of this action are called $\phi$-twisted conjugacy classes. One says that $\Gamma$…

Reidemeister numbers of group automorphisms encode the number of twisted conjugacy classes of groups and might yield information about self-maps of spaces related to the given objects. Here we address a question posed by Gon\c{c}alves and…

Let G be a group and {\phi} be an automorphism of G. Two elements x, y of G are said to be {\phi}-twisted if y = gx{\phi}(g)^{-1} for some g in G. We say that a group G has the R_{\infty}-property if the number of {\phi}-twisted conjugacy…

We say that a group has property $R_{\infty}$ if any group automorphism has an infinite number of twisted conjugacy classes. Fel'shtyn and Goncalves prove that the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(1,m) have property $R_{\infty}$. We…

We say that $x,y\in \Gamma$ are in the same $\phi$-twisted conjugacy class and write $x\sim_\phi y$ if there exists an element $\gamma\in \Gamma$ such that $y=\gamma x\phi(\gamma^{-1})$. This is an equivalence relation on $\Gamma$ called…

Let $R(\phi)$ be the number of $\phi$-conjugacy (or Reidemeister) classes of an endomorphism $\phi$ of a group $G$. We prove for several classes of groups (including polycyclic) that the number $R(\phi)$ is equal to the number of fixed…

A group is said to have the $R_\infty$ property if every automorphism has an infinite number of twisted conjugacy classes. We study the question whether $G$ has the $R_\infty$ property when $G$ is a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent…

If $\phi$ is an automorphism of a group $G$ and $x,y\in G$, we say that $x$ and $y$ are $\phi$-twisted conjugates if there exists an $z\in G$ such that $y=z.x.\phi(z^{-1})$. This is an equivalence relation. If there are infinitely many…
