We prove that groups in a certain class of metabelian locally compact groups, have quadratic Dehn function. As an application, we embed the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups into finitely presented metabelian groups with quadratic Dehn…

A group G is a vGBS group if it admits a decomposition as a finite graph of groups with all edge and vertex groups finitely generated and free abelian. We prove that the multiple conjugacy problem is solvable between two n-tuples A and B of…

We prove that fundamental groups of orientable (geometrizable) 3-manifolds have a solvable conjugacy problem.

Let $G$ be a classical group defined over a finite field. We consider the following fundamental problems concerning conjugacy in $G$: 1. List a representative for each conjugacy class of $G$. 2. Given $x \in G$, describe the centralizer of…

Solvability of the conjugacy problem for relatively hyperbolic groups was announced by Gromov [Hyperbolic groups, MSRI publications 8 (1987)]. Using the definition of Farb of a relatively hyperbolic group in the strong sense [B Farb,…

Given a short exact sequence of groups with certain conditions, $1\to F\to G\to H\to 1$, we prove that $G$ has solvable conjugacy problem if and only if the corresponding action subgroup $A\leqslant Aut(F)$ is orbit decidable. From this, we…

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…

We prove that every countable group with solvable power problem embeds into a finitely presented 2-generated group with solvable power and conjugacy problems.

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…

This is the first of a sequence of papers devoted to studying the link between the complexity of the Word Problem for a finitely generated recursively presented group $G$ and the isoperimetric functions of the finitely presented groups in…

We have proved in [Topology, 45 1 (2006)] that fundamental groups of oriented geometrizable 3-manifolds have a solvable conjugacy problem. We now consider the case of groups of non-oriented geometrizable 3-manifolds in order to conclude…

We prove that Thompson's group $T$ and, more generally, all the Higman-Thompson groups $T_n$ have quadratic Dehn function.

We show that conjugacy of reversible cellular automata is undecidable, whether the conjugacy is to be performed by another reversible cellular automaton or by a general homeomorphism. This gives rise to a new family of finitely-generated…

We construct examples of finitely presented simple groups whose Dehn functions are at least exponential. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first such examples known. Our examples arise from R\"over-Nekrashevych groups, using…

In this paper we show that Diophantine problem for quadratic equations in Baumslag-Solitar groups $BS(1,k)$ and in wreath products $A \wr \mathbb{Z}$, where $A$ is a finitely generated abelian group and $\mathbb{Z}$ is an infinite cyclic…

We discuss time complexity of The Conjugacy Problem in HNN-extensions of groups, in particular, in Miller's groups. We show that for "almost all", in some explicit sense, elements, the Conjugacy Problem is decidable in cubic time. It is…

In this paper, we compute an upper bound for the Dehn function of a finitely presented metabelian group. In addition, we prove that the same upper bound works for the relative Dehn function of a finitely generated metabelian group. We also…

Let $n\in \mathbb{N}$. Houghton's group $H_n$ is the group of permutations of $\{1,\dots, n\}\times \mathbb{N}$, that eventually act as a translation in each copy of $\mathbb{N}$. We prove the solvability of the conjugacy problem and…

We give an infinite family of monoids $\Pi_N$ (for $N=2, 3, \dots$), each with a single defining relation of the form $bUa = a$, such that the Dehn function of $\Pi_N$ is at least exponential. More precisely, we prove that the Dehn function…

It is shown that there exist infinitely many non-integers $r>2$ such that the Dehn function of some finitely presented group is $\simeq n^r$. For each positive rational number $s$ we construct pairs of finitely presented groups $H\subset G$…
