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).

In this note we solve the twisted conjugacy problem for braid groups, i.e. we propose an algorithm which, given two braids $u,v\in B_n$ and an automorphism $\phi \in Aut (B_n)$, decides whether $v=(\phi (x))^{-1}ux$ for some $x\in B_n$. As…

This paper initiates the study of effective twisted conjugacy separability for finitely generated groups, which measures the complexity of separating distinct twisted conjugacy classes via finite quotients. The focus is on nilpotent groups,…

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…

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…

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 $\Sigma^n$…

It is proved for Abelian groups that the Reidemeister coincidence number of two endomorphisms $\phi$ and $\psi$ is equal to the number of coincidence points of $\wh\phi$ and $\wh\psi$ on the unitary dual, if the Reidemeister number is…

In this work, we establish a relationship between the sum of irreducible character degrees and the number of twisted involutions associated with the automorphisms of a finite group. We develop algorithmic frameworks for evaluating these…

Let $H$ be an extension of a finite group $Q$ by a finite group $G$. Inspired by the results of duality theorems for \'etale gerbes on orbifolds, we describe the number of conjugacy classes of $H$ that maps to the same conjugacy class of…

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…

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 $H$…

We combinatorially characterize the number $\mathrm{cc}_2$ of conjugacy classes of involutions in any Coxeter group in terms of higher rank odd graphs. This notion naturally generalizes the concept of odd graphs, used previously to count…
