The twisted conjugacy separability domination conjecture

Let NN be a nilpotent group with generating subset SS. For an automorphism φAut(N)\varphi\in\operatorname{Aut}(N), let ConjN,Sφ(n)\operatorname{Conj}_{N,S}^{\varphi}(n) denote the effective twisted conjugacy separability function, and let ConjN,S(n)\operatorname{Conj}_{N,S}(n) denote the ordinary conjugacy separability function.

Twisted conjugacy separability domination conjecture. For every automorphism φAut(N)\varphi\in\operatorname{Aut}(N),

ConjN,Sφ(n)ConjN,S(n).\operatorname{Conj}_{N,S}^{\varphi}(n)\preceq\operatorname{Conj}_{N,S}(n).

The conjecture asserts that twisted conjugacy is no harder to separate effectively than ordinary conjugacy for nilpotent groups. The paper states that this is open in general.
