In this article, we study connections between representation theory and efficient solutions to the conjugacy problem on finitely generated groups. The main focus is on the conjugacy problem in conjugacy separable groups, where we measure…

In this article, I introduce a group-theoretical method to prove positivity of certain linear combinations (with coefficients generally lying in $\mathbb{C}$) of exponential functions under a set of semidefinite linear constraints. The…

In this paper, we establish upper bounds on the length of the shortest conjugator between pairs of infinite order elements in a wide class of groups. We obtain a general result which applies to all hierarchically hyperbolic groups, a class…

We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, in which all conjugacy classes beside 1 are infinite) for extensions of some specific groups ; namely extensions of abelian, centerless, icc, or word…

We investigate the conjugacy growth of finitely generated linear groups. We show that finitely generated non-virtually-solvable subgroups of GL_d have uniform exponential conjugacy growth and in fact that the number of distinct polynomials…

Let $G$ be a group. A function $l:G\rightarrow \lbrack 0,\infty )$ is called a length function if (1) $l(g^{n})=|n|l(g)$ for any $g\in G$ and $n\in \mathbb{Z};$ (2) $l(hgh^{-1})=l(g)$ for any $h,g\in G;$ and (3) $l(ab)\leq l(a)+l(b)$ for…

We consider metric ultraproducts of finite groups with respect to some classes of length functions. All sofic groups embed into these ultraproducts. We study embeddings of normed groups. We also show that in some natural situations such an…

We say that two elements of a group or semigroup are $\Bbbk$-linear conjugates if their images under any linear representation over $\Bbbk$ are conjugate matrices. In this paper we characterize $\Bbbk$-linear conjugacy for finite semigroups…

In any Coxeter group, the conjugates of elements in the standard minimal generating set are called reflections and the minimal number of reflections needed to factor a particular element is called its reflection length. In this article we…

Our goal is to develop a limit approach for a class of problems in additive combinatorics that is analogous to the limit theory of dense graph sequences. We introduce metric, convergence and limit objects for functions on groups and for…

Given two conjugate mapping classes f and g, we produce a conjugating element w such that |w| < K(|f|+|g|), where |.| denotes the word metric with respect to a fixed generating set, and K is a constant depending only on the generating set.…

Let $G$ be a finite group. K. Harada conjectured that the product of degrees of all irreducible characters of $G$ divides the product of lengths of all conjugacy classes of $G$. We verify this conjecture for finite general linear groups and…

In this paper, we derive an asymptotic formula for the number of conjugacy classes of elements in a class of statistically convex-cocompact actions with contracting elements. Denote by $\mathcal C(o, n)$ (resp. $\mathcal C'(o, n)$) the set…

In a recent paper, Henry Bradford showed that all sufficiently fast growing functions appear as the residual finiteness growth function of some group. In this paper we show that the groups there constructed are conjugacy separable and that…

We introduce stable reflection length in Coxeter groups, as a way to study the asymptotic behaviour of reflection length. This creates connections to other well-studied stable length functions in groups, namely stable commutator length and…

In this paper we describe conjugacy geodesic representatives in any dihedral Artin group $G(m)$, $m\geq 3$, which we then use to calculate asymptotics for the conjugacy growth of $G(m)$, and show that the conjugacy growth series of $G(m)$…

We study the notion of twisted conjugacy separability (essentially introduced in our previous paper for a proof of twisted version of Burnside-Frobenius theorem) and some related properties. We give examples of groups with and without this…

We start by studying the distribution of (cyclically reduced) elements of the free groups with respect to their abelianization. We derive an explicit generating function, and a limiting distribution, by means of certain results (of…

Using generating functions, we enumerate regular semisimple conjugacy classes in the finite classical groups. For the general linear, unitary, and symplectic groups this gives a different approach to known results; for the special…

This paper initiates the study of effective twisted conjugacy separability for finitely generated groups, which measures the complexity of separating distinct twisted conjugacy classes via finite quotients. The focus is on nilpotent groups,…
