We give a geometric proof based on recent work of Eskin, Fisher and Whyte that the lamplighter group Ln has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes for any automorphism φ only when n is divisible by 2 or 3, originally proved by Gonçalves and Wong. We determine when the wreath product G o Z has this same property for several classes of finite groups G, including symmetric groups and some nilpo...

We classify the real and strongly real conjugacy classes in PGLnðqÞ, PSLnðqÞ, and all quasi-simple covers of PSLnðqÞ. In each case we give a formula for the number of real, and the number of strongly real, conjugacy classes. This is a companion paper to [4] in which we classified the real and strongly real conjugacy classes in GLnðqÞ and SLnðqÞ.
