Examples of finitely presented subgroups of $\operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$ with unsolvable decision problems
$\DeclareMathOperator\GL{GL}\DeclareMathOperator\Aut{Aut}$Does there exist a finitely presented subgroup of $\GL(n,\mathbb{Z})$ for which it is known that the conjugacy problem is unsolvable (if yes, ...

Characterizations of groups whose general linear representations are all trivial
Let $G$ be a group. Suppose for any general linear representation $\rho:G\to\mathrm{GL}(n)$,
$\rho$ must be trivial.
Question: Are there any characterizations or equivalent conditions for $G$?
Thanks ...

Orbits of some special actions on solution set of a arithmetic equation
Let $g_1(x,y,z)=(y,x,-z), g_2(x,y,z)=(y,x+y+2z,-y-z)$,
$V= \{(x,y,z)\in Z^3|xy-z^2+1=0 \}$.
Is it possible to find all orbits of the action of group $\langle g_1 \rangle * \langle g_2 \rangle$ on $V$? ...

Suppose that $G$ is a subgroup of $GL_n(\mathbb C)$ with finite exponent. Then is $G$ a finite group? [closed]
As title. the exponent of $G$ is the least number $n$ (if exists) such that $g^n=e$ holds for all $g\in G$ or $+\infty$.
