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 $V$? ...
