英文摘要：

The purpose of the present paper is to prove for finitely generated groups of type I the following conjecture of A.Fel'shtyn and R.Hill, which is a generalization of the classical Burnside theorem. Let G be a countable discrete group, f one of its automorphisms, R(f) the number of f-conjugacy classes, and S(f)=# Fix (f^) the number of f-invariant equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations. If one of R(f) and S(f) is finite, then it is equal to the other. This conjecture plays an important role in the theory of twisted conjugacy classes and has very important consequences in Dynamics, while its proof needs rather sophisticated results from Functional and Non-commutative Harmonic Analysis. We begin a discussion of the general case (which needs another definition of the dual object). It will be the subject of a forthcoming paper. Some applications and examples are presented.

Geometry of Reidemeister classes and twisted Burnside theorem

This is a (mostly expository) paper on Reidemeister classes, twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory, congruences, R-infinity property and all that. It was written in 2005 and published in 2008. We post it as it was, only the bibliography data is updated. For some of the recent progress see e.g. arXiv:0903.4533, arXiv:0903.3455, arXiv:0802.2937, arXiv:0712.2601, arXiv:0704.3411, arXiv:math/0703744, arXiv:math/0606725, arXiv:math/0606764, arXiv:0805.1371 and references there.

Bitwisted Burnside-Frobenius theorem and Dehn conjugacy problem

It is proved for Abelian groups that the Reidemeister coincidence number of two endomorphisms $ϕ$ and $ψ$ is equal to the number of coincidence points of $\whϕ$ and $\whψ$ on the unitary dual, if the Reidemeister number is finite. An affirmative answer to the bitwisted Dehn conjugacy problem for almost polycyclic groups is obtained. Finally we explain why the Reidemeister numbers are always infinite for injective endomorphisms of Baumslag-Solitar groups.

New zeta functions of Reidemeister type and twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory

We introduce new zeta functions related to an endomorphism $ϕ$ of a discrete group $Γ$. They are of two types: counting numbers of fixed ($ρ\sim ρ\circϕ^n$) irreducible representations for iterations of $ϕ$ from an appropriate dual space of $Γ$ and counting Reidemeister numbers $R(ϕ^n)$ of different compactifications. Many properties of these functions and their coefficients are obtained. In many cases it is proved that these zeta functions coincide. The Gauss congruences are proved. Useful asymptotic formulas for the zeta functions are found. Rationality is proved for some examples, which giv…

Twisted Burnside-Frobenius Theorem and $R_\infty$-Property for Lamplighter-Type Groups

We prove that the restricted wreath product ${\mathbb{Z}_n \mathbin{\mathrm{wr}} \mathbb{Z}^k}$ has the $R_\infty$-property, i. e. every its automorphism $φ$ has infinite Reidemeister number $R(φ)$, in exactly two cases: (1) for any $k$ and even $n$; (2) for odd $k$ and $n$ divisible by 3. In the remaining cases there are automorphisms with finite Reidemeister number, for which we prove the finite-dimensional twisted Burnside--Frobenius theorem (TBFT): $R(φ)$ is equal to the number of equivalence classes of finite-dimensional irreducible unitary representations fixed by the action ${[ρ]\mapsto…

Twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory for endomorphisms of polycyclic groups

Let $R(ϕ)$ be the number of $ϕ$-conjugacy (or Reidemeister) classes of an endomorphism $ϕ$ of a group $G$. We prove for several classes of groups (including polycyclic) that the number $R(ϕ)$ is equal to the number of fixed points of the induced map of an appropriate subspace of the unitary dual space $\widehat G$, when $R(ϕ)<\infty$. Applying the result to iterations of $ϕ$ we obtain Gauss congruences for Reidemeister numbers. In contrast with the case of automorphisms, studied previously, we have a plenty of examples having the above finiteness condition, even among groups with $R_\infty$ pr…

Twisted Burnside theorem for type II_1 groups: an example

The purpose of the present paper is to discuss the following conjecture of Fel'shtyn and Hill, which is a generalization of the classical Burnside theorem: Let G be a countable discrete group, f its automorphism, R(f) the number of f-conjugacy classes (Reidemeister number), S(f):=# Fix (f^) the number of f-invariant equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations. If one of R(f) and S(f) is finite, then it is equal to the other. This conjecture plays a very important role in the theory of twisted conjugacy classes having a long history and has very serious consequences in Dynamics, …

Twisted Burnside-Frobenius theory for discrete groups

For a wide class of groups including polycyclic and finitely generated polynomial growth groups it is proved that the Reidemeister number of an automorphism f is equal to the number of finite-dimensional fixed points of the induced map f^ on the unitary dual, if one of these numbers is finite. This theorem is a natural generalization of the classical Burnside-Frobenius theorem to infinite groups. This theorem also has important consequences in topological dynamics and in some sense is a reply to a remark of J.-P. Serre. The main technical results proved in the paper yield a tool for a further …

Reidemeister classes in lamplighter type groups

We prove that for any automorphism $ϕ$ 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 $R(ϕ)$ is infinite, i.e. these groups have the property $R_\infty$. For $\mathbb{Z}_3 \mathrm{wr} \mathbb{Z}^{2d+1}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_p \mathrm{wr} \mathbb{Z}^k$, where $p>3$ is prime, we give examples of automorphisms with finite Reidemeister numbers. So these groups do not have the property $R_\infty$. For these groups and $\mathbb{Z}_m \mathrm{wr} \mathbb{Z}$, where $m$ is relatively prime to $6$, we prove the t…

Twisted conjugacy in residually finite groups of finite Prüfer rank

Suppose, $G$ is a residually finite group of finite upper rank admitting an automorphism $φ$ with finite Reidemeister number $R(φ)$ (the number of $φ$-twisted conjugacy classes). We prove that such $G$ is soluble-by-finite (in other words, any residually finite group of finite upper rank, which is not soluble-by-finite, has the $R_\infty$ property). This reduction is the first step in the proof of the second main theorem of the paper: suppose, $G$ is a residually finite group of finite Prüfer rank and $φ$ is its automorphism with $R(φ)<\infty$; then $R(φ)$ is equal to the number of equivalence…
