Event details
Abstract: The word and conjugacy problems are central decision problems associated with finitely generated groups. In particular, there are deep results which bridge some of the main concepts of the theories of computability and computational complexity with group theoretical invariants through the word problem in groups. In this talk I will recall some of the well-known facts about the word and conjugacy problems in groups as well as discuss new results concerning the relationship between them.
