We prove that Chevalley group over the field $F$ of zero characteristic possess $R_{\infty}$ property, if $F$ has torsion group of automorphisms or $F$ is an algebraically closed field which has finite transcendence degree over…

In this paper we study the number of twisted conjugacy classes (the Reidemeister number) for automorphisms of crystallographic groups. We present two main algorithms for crystallographic groups whose holonomy group has finite normaliser in…

We extend the notions of "$R_\infty$-property" and "full (extended) Reidemeister spectrum" to finite groups in a meaningful way. We provide examples of finite groups admitting these properties, if they exist, by looking at groups of small…

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…

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…

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…

In the paper we study twisted conjugacy classes and isogredience classes for automorphisms of reductive linear algebraic groups. We show that reductive linear algebraic groups over some fields of zero characteristic possess the $R_\infty$…

A group $G$ has the $R_{\infty}$--property if the number $R(\varphi)$ of twisted conjugacy classes is infinite for any automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$. For such a group $G$, the $R_{\infty}$--nilpotency index is the least integer $c$ such…

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 $\phi$…

In this paper, generalising the idea of the Rokhlin property, we explore the concept of the twisted Rokhlin property of topological groups. A topological group is said to exhibit the twisted Rokhlin property if, for each automorphism $\phi$…

We describe the Reidemeister spectrum $Spec_RG$ for $G = N_{rc},$ the free nilpotent group of rank $r$ and class $c,$ in the cases: $r \in {\mathbb N}$ and $c = 1;$ $r = 2, 3$ and $c = 2;$ $ r = 2$ and $c = 3,$ and prove that any group…

We prove that if $\mathbb{F}$ is an algebraically closed field of zero characteristic which has infinite transcendence degree over $\mathbb{Q}$, then there exists a field automorphism $\varphi$ of ${\rm SL}_n(\mathbb{F})$ and ${\rm…

The Reidemeister number $R(\varphi)$ of a group automorphism $\varphi \in \mathrm{Aut}(G)$ encodes the number of orbits of the $\varphi$-twisted conjugation action of $G$ on itself, and the Reidemeister spectrum of $G$ is defined as the set…

We prove that the restricted wreath product ${\mathbb{Z}_n \mathbin{\mathrm{wr}} \mathbb{Z}^k}$ has the $R_\infty$-property, i. e. every its automorphism $\varphi$ has infinite Reidemeister number $R(\varphi)$, in exactly two cases: (1) for…

We prove that for any automorphism $\phi$ of the restricted wreath product $\mathbb{Z}_2 \mathrm{wr} \mathbb{Z}^k$ and $\mathbb{Z}_3 \mathrm{wr} \mathbb{Z}^{2d}$ the Reidemeister number $R(\phi)$ is infinite, i.e. these groups have the…

We study twisted conjugacy classes of a family of groups which are called Houghton's groups $\mathcal{H}_n$ ($n \in\mathbb{N}$), the group of translations of $n$ rays of discrete points at infinity. We prove that the Houghton's groups…

Given a group $G$ and an automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$, two elements $x, y \in G$ are said to be $\varphi$-conjugate if $x = g y \varphi(g)^{-1}$ for some $g \in G$. The number of equivalence classes is the Reidemeister number $R(\varphi)$…

Given a group $G$ and an endomorphism $\varphi$ of $G$, two elements $x, y \in G$ are said to be $\varphi$-conjugate if $x = gy \varphi(g)^{-1}$ for some $g \in G$. The number of equivalence classes for this relation is the Reidemeister…

We prove that the symplectic group $Sp(2n,\mathbb Z)$ and the mapping class group $Mod_{S}$ of a compact surface $S$ satisfy the $R_{\infty}$ property. We also show that $B_n(S)$, the full braid group on $n$-strings of a surface $S$,…
