Abstract:

It is shown that each finitely generated torsion-free abelian-by-cyclic group has solvable conjugacy problem. This is done by showing that solving the conjugacy problem for these groups is equivalent to a certain decision problem for modules over the complex group algebra of an infinite cyclic group.
