Twisted conjugacy growth series conjecture

From papers

Let GG be a finitely presented group. For each automorphism ψ\psi of GG, let Grψ,GS(n)\mathrm{Gr}_{\psi,G}^S(n) denote the corresponding twisted conjugacy growth function, and let its twisted conjugacy growth series be the formal power series

Grψ,GS(n)xn.\sum \mathrm{Gr}_{\psi,G}^S(n)x^n.

Twisted conjugacy growth series conjecture. The group GG is virtually abelian if and only if all its twisted conjugacy growth functions are rational. This is presented as a twisted analogue of the conjecture on rational conjugacy growth series; the source gives no resolution status.
