contents If $G_1$ and $G_2$ are torsion-free hyperbolic groups and $P<G_1\times G_2$ is a finitely generated subdirect product, then the conjugacy problem in $P$ is solvable if and only if there is a uniform algorithm to decide membership of the cyclic subgroups in the finitely presented group $G_1/(P\cap G_1)$. The proof of this result relies on a new technique for perturbing elements in a hyperbolic group to ensure that they are not proper powers.
