Congruence subgroup

In mathematics, a congruence subgroup of a matrix group with integer entries is a subgroup defined by congruence conditions on the entries. A very simple example would be invertible 2 × 2 integer matrices of determinant 1, in which the off-diagonal entries are even. More generally, the notion of congruence subgroup can be defined for arithmetic subgroups of algebraic groups; that is, those for which we have a notion of 'integral structure' and can define reduction maps modulo an integer. The existence of congruence subgroups in an arithmetic group provides it with a wealth of subgroups, in particular it shows that the group is residually finite. An important question regarding the algebraic structure of arithmetic groups is the congruence subgroup problem, which asks whether all subgroups of finite index are essentially congruence subgroups. Congruence subgroups of 2×2 matrices are fundamental objects in the classical theory of modular forms; the modern theory of automorphic forms makes a similar use of congruence subgroups in more general arithmetic groups.

What is the Definition of Congruent Triangles - Congruent Triangles

👉 Learn about congruent triangles theorems. Two or more triangles (or polygons) are said to be congruent if they have the same shape and size. There are many methods to determine whether two triangles are congruent. Some of the methods include: (1) The SSS (Side Side Side) congruency the

Angelica Babei - A family of $\phi$-congruence subgroups of the modular group

In this talk, we introduce families of subgroups of finite index in the modular group, generalizing the congruence subgroups. One source of such families is studying homomorphisms of the modular group into linear algebraic groups over finite fields. In particular, we examine a family of no
