Abstract We initiate the study of the twisted conjugacy growth series of a finitely generated group, the formal power series associated to the twisted conjugacy growth function. Our main result is that, for a virtually abelian group, this series is always an explicitly computable ‐rational function. As a corollary, we obtain a similar result for the relative growth series of a twisted conjugacy class in a virtually abelian group.
Evetts et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
