We prove for a wide class of saturated weakly branch group (including the (first) Grigorchuk group and the Gupta-Sidki group) that the Reidemeister number of any automorphism is infinite.

Let $A$ be the ring of elements in an algebraic function field $K$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ which are integral outside a fixed place $\infty$. In contrast to the classical modular group $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and the Bianchi groups, the {\it…

Let $R$ be an integral domain of zero characteristic. In this note we study the Reidemeister spectrum of the group ${\rm UT}_n(R)$ of unitriangular matrices over $R$. We prove that if $R^+$ is finitely generated and $n>2|R^*|$, then ${\rm…

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).

We say a group $G$ has property $R_\infty$ if the number $R(\varphi)$ of twisted conjugacy classes is infinite for every automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$. For such groups, the $R_\infty$-nilpotency degree is the least integer $c$ such that…

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…

In this paper we study the Reidemeister spectrum of 2-step nilpotent groups associated to graphs. We develop three methods, based on the structure of the graph, that can be used to determine the Reidemeister spectrum of the associated group…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated polyfree group. If $G$ has nonzero Euler characteristic then we show that $Aut(G)$ has a finite index subgroup in which every automorphism has infinite Reidemeister number. For certain $G$ of length 2, we…

For a 3-manifold $M$ and an acyclic $\mathit{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-representation $\rho$ of its fundamental group, the $\mathit{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-Reidemeister torsion $\tau_\rho(M) \in \mathbb{C}^\times$ is defined. If there are only finitely…

In this note we study the Reidemeister spectrum for metabelian groups of the form ${\mathbb Q}^n\rtimes \mathbb Z$ and ${\mathbb Z[1/p]}^n\rtimes \mathbb Z$. Particular attention is given to the $R_{\infty}$ property of a subfamily of these…

We show that the number of twisted conjugacy classes is infinite for any automorphism of non-elementary, Gromov hyperbolic group . An analog of Selberg theory for twisted conjugacy classes is proposed.

We investigate the Reidemeister spectrum of direct products of nilpotent groups. More specifically, we prove that the Reidemeister spectra of the individual factors yield complete information for the Reidemeister spectrum of the direct…

The orbit polytope for a finite group G acting linearly and freely on a sphere S is used to construct a cellularized fundamental domain for the action. A resolution of the integers over G results from the associated G-equivariant…

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…

Given the unital C$^*$-algebra $A$, the unitary orbit of the projector $p_0=\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ in the C$^*$-algebra $M_2(A)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with coefficients in $A$ is called in this paper, the Riemann…

Riemannian geodesic orbit spaces (G/H,g) are natural generalizations of symmetric spaces, defined by the property that their geodesics are orbits of one-parameter subgroups of G. We study the geodesic orbit spaces of the form (G/S,g), where…

We study the product formula for Reidemeister numbers on finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups in two ways. On the one hand, we generalise the product formula to central extensions. On the other hand, we derive general results…

For a wide class of groups including polycyclic and finitely generated polynomial growth groups it is proved that the Reidemeister number of an automorphism f is equal to the number of finite-dimensional fixed points of the induced map f^…

We construct an algorithm that, given a pair of homomorphisms between polycyclic-by-finite groups, determines whether their Reidemeister number is finite, and if so returns a set of representatives of the twisted conjugacy classes.…

How rich is the collection of groups with a given prominent property? In this work we approach this question for property~$R_\infty$, which says that every automorphism $\varphi$ of a given group has infinitely many orbits under the…
