Abstract: Suppose, $G$ is a residually finite group of finite upper rank admitting an automorphism $varphi$ with finite Reidemeister number $R(varphi)$ (the number of $varphi$-twisted conjugacy classes). We prove that such $G$ is soluble-by-finite (in other words, any residually finite group of finite upper rank, which is not soluble-by-finite, has the $R_{i}nfty$ property). This reduction is the first step in the proof of the second main theorem of the paper: suppose, $G$ is a residually finite group of finite Pr"ufer rank and $varphi$ is its automorphism with $R(varphi)<infty$; then $R(varphi)$ is equal to the number of equivalence classes of finite-dimensional irreducible unitary representations of $G$, which are fixed points of the dual map $widehatvarphi:[ho]mapsto[hocircvarphi]$ (i.e., we prove the TBFT${}_f$, the finite version of the conjecture about the twisted Burnside-Frobenius theorem, for such groups).
