Dynamics and algorithms for endomorphisms of free groups

Abstract: Recent work of Mutanguha has given a topological insight into endomorphisms of free groups and their dynamics. The purpose of this talk is to sketch this theory, and to explain how it can be applied to resolve the conjugacy problem for ascending HNN-extensions of free groups.
