Implementation: The conjugacy problem in right-angled Artin groups

Group Theory 2023-05-19 v2

Abstract

In 2009, Crisp, Godelle and Wiest constructed a linear-time algorithm to solve the conjugacy problem in right-angled Artin groups. This algorithm has now been implemented in Python, and the code is freely available on GitHub. This document provides a summary of how the code works. As well as determining whether two elements w1,w2w_{1}, w_{2} are conjugate in a RAAG AΓA_{\Gamma}, our code also returns a conjugating element xAΓx \in A_{\Gamma} such that w1=x1w2xw_{1} = x^{-1}w_{2}x, if w1w_{1} and w2w_{2} are conjugate.
