Title: The generalized conjugacy problem in hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups.
Abstract: In this talk, we give a brief introduction to relatively hyperbolic groups and present an (inefficient) algorithm that generalizes the work of Bridson and Howie to solve the generalized conjugacy problem in relatively hyperbolic groups, provided the peripheral subgroups have decidable generalized conjugacy problem. We conclude by discussing ongoing attempts to produce a more efficient (polynomial time) algorithm for relatively hyperbolic groups.
