Abstract

In this paper, we prove a criterion of conjugacy separability of generalized free products of polycyclic-by-finite groups with a non-cyclic amalgamated subgroup. Applying this criterion, we prove that certain generalized free products of polycyclic-by-finite groups are conjugacy separable.

Keywords: generalized free products, residually finite, conjugacy separable, nilpotent groups
