Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. Algorithm is constructed such, that for every automorphism $\phi \in Aut(N)$ defines the Reidemeister number $R(\phi).$ It is proved that any free nilpotent group of rank $r = 2$ or $r = 3$…
Let $\phi:G\to G$ be an automorphism of an infinite group $G$. One has an equivalence relation $\sim_\phi$ on $G$ defined as $x\sim_\phi y$ if there exists a $z\in G$ such that $y=zx\phi(z^{-1})$. The equivalence classes are called…
Reidemeister (or twisted conjugacy) classes are considered in restricted wreath products of the form $G\wr \mathbb{Z}^k$, where $G$ is a finite group. For an automorphism $\varphi$ of finite order (supposed to be the same for the torsion…
Suppose, $G$ is a residually finite group of finite upper rank admitting an automorphism $\varphi$ with finite Reidemeister number $R(\varphi)$ (the number of $\varphi$-twisted conjugacy classes). We prove that such $G$ is soluble-by-finite…
Reidemeister numbers of group automorphisms encode the number of twisted conjugacy classes of groups and might yield information about self-maps of spaces related to the given objects. Here we address a question posed by Gon\c{c}alves and…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, $G$ a linear algebraic group over $k$ and $\varphi\in Aut(G)$, the group of all algebraic group automorphisms of $G$. Two elements $x, y$ of $G$ are said to be $\varphi$-twisted conjugate if…
A group is said to have the $R_\infty$ property if every automorphism has an infinite number of twisted conjugacy classes. We study the question whether $G$ has the $R_\infty$ property when $G$ is a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent…
Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $\mathrm{Aut}_{\mathrm{alg}}(G)$ the group of all algebraic group automorphisms of $G$. For every $\varphi\in \mathrm{Aut}_{\mathrm{alg}}(G)$ let…
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…
We prove for residually finite groups the following long standing conjecture: the number of twisted conjugacy classes of an automorphism of a finitely generated group is equal (if it is finite) to the number of finite dimensional…
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…
Among restricted wreath products $G\wr \mathbb Z^k $, where $G$ is a finite Abelian group, we find three large classes of groups admitting an automorphism $\varphi$ with finite Reidemeister number $R(\varphi)$ (number of $\varphi$-twisted…
In this short article, we prove that any automorphism of the R. Thompson's group $F$ has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes. The result follows from the work of Matthew Brin, together with a standard facts on R. Thompson's group $F$,…
We consider groups $G$ such that the set $[G,\varphi]=\{g^{-1}g^{\varphi}|g\in G\}$ is a subgroup for every automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$, and we prove that there exists such a group $G$ that is finite and nilpotent of class $n$ for every…
Let $\phi:G \to G$ be a group endomorphism where $G$ is a finitely generated group of exponential growth, and denote by $R(\phi)$ the number of twisted $\phi$-conjugacy classes. Fel'shtyn and Hill \cite{fel-hill} conjectured that if $\phi$…
A group $G$ is said to have property $R_{\infty}$ if for every automorphism $\varphi \in {\rm Aut}(G)$, the cardinality of the set of $\varphi$-twisted conjugacy classes is infinite. Many classes of groups are known to have such property.…
Let $G$ be a non-compact semisimple Lie group with finite centre and finitely many components. We show that any finitely generated group $\Gamma$ which is quasi-isometric to an irreducible lattice in $G$ has the $R_\infty$-property, namely,…
A group $G$ is said to have the property $R_\infty$ if every automorphism $\phi \in {\rm Aut}(G)$ has an infinite number of $\phi$-twisted conjugacy classes. Recent work of Gon\c{c}alves and Kochloukova uses the $\Sigma^n$…
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…
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…
