Residual finiteness properties of some of Halls groups

Abstract: In this article we study a class of central extensions of $\mathbb{Z}\wr\mathbb{Z}$, as first described by Hall. On the one hand, we construct a group in this class that is conjugacy separable with solvable word problem but unsolvable conjugacy problem. On the other hand we construct the first example of a group where the residual finiteness growth is faster than any polynomial but slower than any exponential.
