چکیده

We discuss time complexity of The Conjugacy Problem in HNN-extensions of groups, in particular, in Miller’s groups. We show that for “almost all”, in some explicit sense, elements, the Conjugacy Problem is decidable in cubic time. It is worth noting that the Conjugacy Problem in a Miller group may have be undecidable. Our results show that “hard” instances of the problem comprise a negligibly small part of the group.

Algorithmic stratification of the conjugacy problem in Miller’s groups

We discuss the complexity of conjugacy problem in Miller’s groups. We stratify the groups in question and show that for “almost all”, in some explicit sense, elements, the conjugacy search problem is decidable in cubic time. It is worth noting that a Miller’a group may have undecidable conjugacy search problem; our results show that “hard” instances of the problem comprise a negligibly small pa...

A Logspace Solution to the Word and Conjugacy problem of Generalized Baumslag-Solitar Groups

Baumslag-Solitar groups were introduced in 1962 by Baumslag and Solitar as examples for finitely presented non-Hopfian two-generator groups. Since then, they served as examples for a wide range of purposes. As Baumslag-Solitar groups are HNN extensions, there is a natural generalization in terms of graph of groups. Concerning algorithmic aspects of generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups, several d...

Infinite Group Theory 2015

s Prof. Paul Baginski Title: Definability and Nilpotence in Groups with Bounded Chains of Centralizers Abstract: A group G has bounded chains of centralizers (G is MC) if every chain of centralizers CG(A1) ≤ CG(A2) ≤ . . . is finite. While this class of groups is interesting in its own right, within the field of logic known as model theory, MC groups have been examined because they strictly con...

Subgroup Separability and Conjugacy Separability of Certain HNN Extensions

In this note, we give characterizations for certain HNN extensions of polycyclic-by-finite groups with central associated subgroups to be subgroup separable and conjugacy separable. We shall do this by showing the equivalence of subgroup separability and conjugacy separability in this type of HNN extensions. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 20E06, 20E26; Secondary 20F10, 20F19
