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 $G(m)$…

Let N be a finitely generated normal subgroup of a Gromov hyperbolic group G. We establish criteria for N to have solvable conjugacy problem and be conjugacy separable in terms of the corresponding properties of G/N. We show that the…

We construct a class of finitely generated groups which have arbitrarily large conjugacy separability function, but in which the conjugacy problem can be solved in polynomial time, demonstrating that the McKinsey algorithm for the conjugacy…

We prove that finite index subgroups of right angled Artin groups are conjugacy separable. We then apply this result to establish various properties of other classes of groups. In particular, we show that any word hyperbolic Coxeter group…

In this paper we study conjugacy separability of subdirect products of two free (or hyperbolic) groups. We establish necessary and sufficient criteria and apply them to fibre products to produce a finitely presented group $G_1$ in which all…

A group presentation is said to have rational growth if the generating series associated to its growth function represents a rational function. A long-standing open question asks whether the Heisenberg group has rational growth for all…

Given a finitely generated relatively hyperbolic group $G$, we construct a finite generating set $X$ of $G$ such that $(G,X)$ has the `falsification by fellow traveler property' provided that the parabolic subgroups $\{H_\omega\}_{\omega\in…

We continue the investigation, that began in [3] and [4], into finite groups whose set of nontrivial conjugacy class sizes form an arithmetic progression. Let $G$ be a finite group and denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ by ${\rm…

The target of this article is to discuss the concept of \textit{commuting probability} of finite groups which, in short, is a probabilistic measure of how abelian our group is. We shall compute the value of commuting probability for many…

We prove that there are only finitely many conjugacy classes of arithmetic maximal hyperbolic reflection groups.

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).

In this paper we classify the finite groups satisfying the following property $P_4$: their orders of representatives are set-wise relatively prime for any 4 distinct non-central conjugacy classes.

Given a finitely generated residually finite group $G$, the residual finiteness growth $\text{RF}_G: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ bounds the size of a finite group $Q$ needed to detect an element of norm at most $r$. More specifically, if…

We show that a finitely generated soluble group is virtually nilpotent if and only if the diameter of its finite coset spaces admits a uniform polynomial lower bound in terms of their size. We obtain the same conclusion for certain finitely…

Let $G$ be a finite group and assume $p$ is a prime dividing the order of $G$. Suppose for any such $p$, that every two abelian $p$-subgroups of $G$ of equal order are conjugate. The structure of such a group $G$ has been settled in this…

In this paper we give an algorithm for computing the conjugacy growth series for a right-angled Artin group, based on a natural language of minimal length conjugacy representatives. In addition, we provide a further language of unique…

In his paper "Finite groups have many conjugacy classes" (J. London Math. Soc (2) 46 (1992), 239-249), L. Pyber proved the to date best general lower bounds for the number of conjugacy classes of a finite group in terms of the order of the…

We study a family of groups consisting of the simplest extensions of lamplighter groups. We use these groups to answer multiple open questions in combinatorial group theory, providing groups that exhibit various combinations of properties:…

We prove that any finitely generated elementary amenable group of zero (algebraic) entropy contains a nilpotent subgroup of finite index or, equivalently, any finitely generated elementary amenable group of exponential growth is of…

Modelled on efficient algorithms for solving the conjugacy problem in hyperbolic groups, we define and study the permutation conjugacy length function. This function estimates the length of a short conjugator between words $u$ and $v$, up…
