I'd like to get back to generalized dihedral groups, to recalculate these groups' conjugacy classes.
Definition, for parameters m, n, r, s:
an = e, bm = as, ba = arb
rm = 1 mod n, s*(r-1) = 0 mod n
Product: (aibj)(apbq) = ai + p*r^jbj+q
Inverse: (aibj)-1 = a-i*r^(-j)b-j
Conjugate: (apbq)-1(aibj)(apbq) = ar^(-q)*(i + (r^j-1)*p)bj
So element aibj has conjugates ai'bj (same power of b) with
i' = rq*i + (rj-1)*p mod n for q = 0 to (m-1) and p = 0 to (n-1)
I'll have to work out some special cases before I can say much more about this problem.
(ETA: edited out extra r condition as unjustified)
