Given a group 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 $\phi$-conjugacy classes. One says that $\Gamma$ has…
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 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…

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…
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 $\Sigma^n$…
