The conjugacy problem for a group G is one of the important algorithmic problems deciding whether or not two elements in G are conjugate to each other. In this paper, we analyze the graph of group structure for the fundamental group of a high-dimensional graph manifold and study the conjugacy problem. We also provide a new proof for the solvable word problem.

If u and v are two conjugate elements of a hyperbolic group then the length of a shortest conjugating element for u and v can be bounded by a linear function of the sum of their lengths, as was proved by Lysenok in [Some algorithmic properties of hyperbolic groups, Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR Ser. Mat. 53(4) (1989) 814–832, 912]. Bridson and Haefliger showed in [Metrics Spaces of Non-Positive Curvature (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1999)] that in a hyperbolic group the conjugacy problem can be solved in polynomial time. We extend these results to relatively hyperbolic groups. In particular, we show that both the conjugacy problem and the conjugacy search problem can be solved in polynomial time in a relatively hyperbolic group, whenever the corresponding problem can be solved in polynomial time in each parabolic subgroup. We also prove that if u and v are two conjugate hyperbolic elements of a relatively hyperbolic group then the length of a shortest conjugating element for u and v is linear in terms of their lengths.

Hartman proved that a diffeomorphism is topologically conjugate to a linear map on a neighbourhood of a hyperbolic fixed point ([3]). In this paper we study the topological conjugacy problem of a diffeomorphism on a neighbourhood of a hyperbolic set, and prove that for any hyperbolic set there is an arbitrarily slight extension to which a sub-shift of finite type is semi-conjugate.

Holonomic parametrizations of knots were introduced in 1997 by Vassiliev, who proved that every knot type can be given a holonomic parametrization. Our main result is that any two holonomic knots which represent the same knot type are isotopic in the space of holonomic knots. A second result emerges through the techniques used to prove the main result: strong and unexpected connections between the topology of knots and the algebraic solution to the conjugacy problem in the braid groups, via the work of Garside. We also discuss related parametrizations of Legendrian knots, and uncover connections between the concepts of holonomic and Legendrian parametrizations of knots.
