We begin with a review of the notion of a braid group. We then discuss some known solutions to decision problems in braid groups. We then move on to proving new results in braid group algorithmics. We offer a quick solution to the…

In this paper, we solve the conjugacy problem for Topological Full Groups of Irreducible Edge Shifts, introduced by Matui in 2015 and later recontextualized as groups of almost automorphisms of trees by Lederle in 2020. The techniques we…

Let G(q) be a finite Chevalley group, where q is a power of a good prime p, and let U(q) be a Sylow p-subgroup of G(q). Then a generalized version of a conjecture of Higman asserts that the number k(U(q)) of conjugacy classes in U(q) is…

In 1971 C.F.\ Miller associated to every finitely presented group $G$ a free-by-free group $M(G)$ known as the Miller Machine, whose conjugacy problem is closely related to the conjugacy and word problems of $G$. We quantify this…

We establish a connection between the generalized conjugacy problem for a $G$-by-$\mathbb{Z}$ group, $GCP(G \rtimes \mathbb{Z})$, and two algorithmic problems for $G$: the generalized Brinkmann's conjugacy problem, $GBrCP(G)$, and the…

We introduce separability properties corresponding to generalized versions of the conjugacy, twisted conjugacy, Brinkmann and Brinkmann's conjugacy problems and how they relate when finite and cyclic extensions of groups are taken. In…

Let $G$ be a group endowed with a solution to the conjugacy problem and with an algorithm which computes the centralizer in $G$ of any element of $G$. Let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. We give some conditions on $H$, under which we provide a…
