Cohen and Lust ig developed an algorithm to solve the conjugacy problem for Dehn twists o f non-abelian free groups. We generalize the results of Cohen-Lustig to fr ee products of finitely generated free abelian groups. Our main tool is th e construction of a canonical (acylindrical) graph-of-groups decomposition of the mapping torus of the Dehn twist automorphism. This is joint work w ith Bratati Som and Amir Weiss.\n\nWe will gather in the lounge for teatim e after the talk.\n DTSTART:20260128T210000Z DTEND:20260128T220000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Chris Karpinski (Âé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾) URL:/smerg/channels/event/chris-karpinski-mcgill-unive rsity-370576 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
