Abstract: We prove that the symplectic group $Sp(2n,mathbbZ)$ and the mapping class group $Mo{d}_S$ of a compact surface $S$ satisfy the $R_{infty}$ property. We also show that $B_n(S)$, the full braid group on $n$-strings of a surface $S$, satisfies the $R_{infty}$ property in the cases where $S$ is either the compact disk $D$, or the sphere $S^2$. This means that for any automorphism $phi$ of $G$, where $G$ is one of the above groups, the number of twisted $phi$-conjugacy classes is infinite.
