The $R_\infty$-property for right-angled Artin groups

Abstract

Given a group GG and an automorphism φ\varphi of GG, two elements x,yGx, y \in G are said to be φ\varphi-conjugate if x=gyφ(g)1x = g y \varphi(g)^{-1} for some gGg \in G. The number of equivalence classes is the Reidemeister number R(φ)R(\varphi) of φ\varphi, and if R(φ)=R(\varphi) = \infty for all automorphisms of GG, then GG is said to have the RR_\infty-property. A finite simple graph Γ\Gamma gives rise to the right-angled Artin group AΓA_{\Gamma}, which has as generators the vertices of Γ\Gamma and as relations vw=wvvw = wv if and only if vv and ww are joined by an edge in Γ\Gamma. We conjecture that all non-abelian right-angled Artin groups have the RR_\infty-property and prove this conjecture for several subclasses of right-angled Artin groups.
