It is proved that generalized free product of two finite p-groups is a conjugacy p-separable group if and only if it is residually finite p-groups. This result is then applied to establish some sufficient conditions for conjugacy…

Generalised Probabilistic Theories (GPTs) provide a unifying framework encompassing classical theories, quantum theories, as well as hypothetical alternatives. We investigate the problem of extending a system with a finite set of…

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…

In various occasions the conjugacy problem in finitely generated amalgamated products and HNN extensions can be decided efficiently for elements which cannot be conjugated into the base groups. This observation asks for a bound on how many…

For every finitely generated recursively presented group G we construct a finitely presented group H containing G such that G is (Frattini) embedded into H and the group H has solvable conjugacy problem if and only if G has solvable…

We investigate the average-case complexity of decision problems for finitely generated groups, in particular the word and membership problems. Using our recent results on ``generic-case complexity'' we show that if a finitely generated…

We prove that the isomorphism problem for finitely generated fully residually free groups is decidable. We also show that each finitely generated fully residually free group G has a decomposition that is invariant under automorphisms of G,…

We consider two decision problems in infinite groups. The first problem is Subgroup Intersection: given two finitely generated subgroups $\langle \mathcal{G} \rangle, \langle \mathcal{H} \rangle$ of a group $G$, decide whether the…

We prove that the isomorphism problem is decidable for generalized Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) groups with one quasi-conjugacy class and full support gaps. In order to do so we introduce a family of invariants that fully characterize the…

We study the conjugacy problem in cyclic extensions of free groups. It is shown that the conjugacy problem is solvable in split extensions of finitely generated free groups by virtually inner automorphisms. An algorithm for construction of…

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…

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…

Given a finite abelian group $G$ and $t\in \mathbb{N}$, there are two natural types of subsets of the Cartesian power $G^t$; namely, Cartesian powers $S^t$ where $S$ is a subset of $G$, and (cosets of) subgroups $H$ of $G^t$. A basic…

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…

A group $G$ is twisted conjugacy separable if for every automorphism $\varphi$, distinct $\varphi$-twisted conjugacy classes can be separated in a finite quotient. Likewise, $G$ is completely twisted conjugacy separable if for any group $H$…

A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group (GBS group) is a finitely generated group $G$ which acts on a tree with all edge and vertex stabilizers infinite cyclic. We show that Out(G) either contains non-abelian free groups or is virtually…
