We prove that the Brinkmann Problems (BrP & BrCP) and the twisted-conjugacy Problem (TCP) are decidable for any endomorphism of a free-abelian times free (FATF) group Fn x Z^m. Furthermore, we prove the decidability of the two-sided…

We prove that Brinkmann's problems are decidable for endomorphisms of $F_n\times F_m$: given $(x,y),(z,w)\in F_n\times F_m$ and $\Phi\in \text{End}(F_n\times F_m)$, it is decidable whether there is some $k\in \mathbb{N}$ such that…

We obtain an explicit description of the endomorphisms of free-abelian by free groups together with a characterization of when they are injective and surjective. As a consequence we see that free-abelian by free groups are Hopfian and not…

We establish a connection between the generalized conjugacy problem for a $G$-by-$\mathbb{Z}$ group, $GCP(G \rtimes \mathbb{Z})$, and two algorithmic problems for $G$: the generalized Brinkmann's conjugacy problem, $GBrCP(G)$, and the…

Let $F$ be a free group of finite rank. We say that the monomorphism problem in $F$ is decidable if for any two elements $u$ and $v$ in $F$, there is an algorithm that determines whether there exists a monomorphism of $F$ that sends $u$ to…

We give an algorithm to solve the Conjugacy Problem for ascending HNN-extensions of free groups. To do this, we give algorithms to solve certain problems on dynamics of free group endomorphisms.

We study direct products of free-abelian and free groups with special emphasis on algorithmic problems. After giving natural extensions of standard notions into that family, we find an explicit expression for an arbitrary endomorphism of…

We prove that, although it is undecidable if a subgroup fixed by an automorphism intersects nontrivially an arbitrary subgroup of $F_n\times F_m$, there is an algorithm that, taking as input a monomorphism and an endomorphism of $F_n\times…

Part 1 : We remark that the conjugacy problem for pairs of hyperbolic au- tomorphisms of a finitely presented group (typically a free group) is decidable. The solution that we propose uses the isomorphism problem for the suspensions, and…

We generalize the classical Post correspondence problem ($\mathbf{PCP}_n$) and its non-homogeneous variation ($\mathbf{GPCP}_n$) to non-commutative groups and study the computational complexity of these new problems. We observe that…

We show that the conjugacy problem is solvable in [finitely generated free]-by-cyclic groups, by using a result of O. Maslakova that one can algorithmically find generating sets for the fixed subgroups of free group automorphisms, and one…

We prove that the stable image of an endomorphism of a virtually free group is computable. For an endomorphism $\varphi$, an element $x\in G$ and a subset $K\subseteq G$, we say that the relative $\varphi$-order of $g$ in $K$,…

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 prove that the Diophantine problem for orientable quadratic equations in free metabelian groups is decidable and furthermore, NP-complete. In the case when the number of variables in the equation is bounded, the problem is decidable in…

The isomorphism problem for [free abelian]-by-free groups is unsolvable.

We describe the endomorphisms of the direct product of two free groups of finite rank and obtain conditions for which the subgroup of fixed points is finitely generated and we do the same for periodic points. We also describe the…

We resolve three long-standing open problems, namely the (algorithmic) decidability of network coding, the decidability of conditional information inequalities, and the decidability of conditional independence implication among random…

We show that the Diophantine problem in Thompson's group F is undecidable. Our proof uses the facts that F has finite commutator width and rank 2 abelianisation, then uses similar arguments used by B\"uchi and Senger and Ciobanu and Garreta…

We introduce separability properties corresponding to generalized versions of the conjugacy, twisted conjugacy, Brinkmann and Brinkmann's conjugacy problems and how they relate when finite and cyclic extensions of groups are taken. In…

We prove that one cannot algorithmically decide whether a finitely presented $\mathbb{Z}$-extension admits a finitely generated base group, and we use this fact to prove the undecidability of the BNS invariant. Furthermore, we show the…
