Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. Algorithm is constructed such, that for every automorphism $\phi \in Aut(N)$ defines the Reidemeister number $R(\phi).$ It is proved that any free nilpotent group of rank $r = 2$ or $r = 3$…
We prove for residually finite groups the following long standing conjecture: the number of twisted conjugacy classes of an automorphism of a finitely generated group is equal (if it is finite) to the number of finite dimensional…
Let $\phi:G\to G$ be an automorphism of a group which is a free-product of finitely many groups each of which is freely indecomposable and two of the factors contain proper finite index characteristic subgroups. We show that $G$ has…
We show that the number of twisted conjugacy classes is infinite for any automorphism of non-elementary, Gromov hyperbolic group . An analog of Selberg theory for twisted conjugacy classes is proposed.
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 $F$,…
We provide two alternative ways to determine the number of (bi-)twisted conjugacy classes in a finite group: one by counting certain irreducible characters and one by counting certain twisted conjugacy classes of other endomorphisms. In…
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…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, $G$ a linear algebraic group over $k$ and $\varphi\in Aut(G)$, the group of all algebraic group automorphisms of $G$. Two elements $x, y$ of $G$ are said to be $\varphi$-twisted conjugate if…
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…
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 $\phi:G\to G$ 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…
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…
Reidemeister (or twisted conjugacy) classes are considered in restricted wreath products of the form $G\wr \mathbb{Z}^k$, where $G$ is a finite group. For an automorphism $\varphi$ of finite order (supposed to be the same for the torsion…
Suppose, $G$ is a residually finite group of finite upper rank admitting an automorphism $\varphi$ with finite Reidemeister number $R(\varphi)$ (the number of $\varphi$-twisted conjugacy classes). We prove that such $G$ is soluble-by-finite…
Let $f$ be an automorphism of a group $G$. Two elements $x, y$ in $G$ are said to be in the same $f$-twisted conjugacy class if there exists an element $z$ in $G$ such that $y=z x f(z^{-1})$. This is an equivalence relation known as…
We construct two practical algorithms for twisted conjugacy classes of polycyclic-by-finite groups. The first algorithm determines whether two elements of a group are twisted conjugate for two given endomorphisms, under the condition that…
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 prove that a saturated weakly branch group $G$ has the property $R_\infty$ (any automorphism $\phi:G\to G$ has infinite Reidemeister number) in each of the following cases: 1) any element of $Out(G)$ has finite order; 2) for any $\phi$…
A group $G$ has property $R_\infty$ if for every $\phi\in Aut(G)$, there are an infinite number of $\phi$-twisted conjugacy classes of elements in $G$. In this note, we determine the $R_\infty$-property for $G=\pi_1(M)$ for all geometric…
For a restricted wreath product $G\wr \mathbb{Z}^k$, where $G$ is a finite abelian group, we determine (almost in all cases) whether this product has the $R_\infty$ property (i.e., each its automorphism has infinite Reidemeister number).
