Abstract We propose to construct the finite modular groups from the quotient of two principal congruence subgroups as Γ(N′)/Γ(N″), and the modular group SL(2, ℤ) is ex- tended to a principal congruence subgroup Γ(N′). The original modular invariant theory is reproduced when N′ = 1. We perform a comprehensive study of $$ {\Gamma}_6^{\prime } $$ Γ 6 ′ modular symmetry corresponding to N′ = 1 and N″ = 6, five types of models for lepton masses and mixing with $$ {\Gamma}_6^{\prime } $$ Γ 6 ′ modular symmetry are discussed and some example models are studied numerically. The case of N′ = 2 and N″ = 6 is considered, the finite modular group is Γ(2)/Γ(6) ≅ T′, and a benchmark model is constructed.

AbstractLet G be a subgroup of PSL(2, R) which is commensurable with PSL(2, Z). We say that G is a congruence subgroup of PSL(2, R) if G contains a principal congruence subgroup /overline Γ(N) for some N. An algorithm is given for determining whether two congruence subgroups are conjugate in PSL(2, R). This algorithm is used to determine the PSL(2, R) conjugacy classes of congruence subgroups of genus-zero and genus-one. The results are given in a table.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and let q be an ideal in R. For each n ≽ 2, let En(R) be the subgroup of GLn(R) generated by the elementary matrices and let En(R, q) be the normal subgroup of En(R) generated by the q-elementary matrices. We put SLn(R, q) = Ker(SLn(R)→SLn(R/q)), the principal congruence subgroup of GLn(R) of level q. (By definition En(R, R) = En(R) and SLn(R, R) = SLn(R).)

We show that the image of the representation of the modular group [Formula: see text] arising from the representation category [Formula: see text] of the Drinfeld double [Formula: see text] of a finite abelian group [Formula: see text] of exponent [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to the special linear group [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the ring of integers modulo [Formula: see text]. As a consequence, we establish that the kernel of the representation in question is the principal congruence subgroup of level [Formula: see text].

<abstract><p>Let SL$ _n(\mathbb{Q}) $ be the set of matrices of order $ n $ over the rational numbers with determinant equal to 1. We study in this paper a subset $ \Lambda $ of SL$ _n(\mathbb{Q}) $, where a matrix $ B $ belongs to $ \Lambda $ if and only if the conjugate subgroup $ B\Gamma_q(n)B^{-1} $ of principal congruence subgroup $ \Gamma_q(n) $ of lever $ q $ is contained in modular group SL$ _n(\mathbb{Z}) $. The notion of least common denominator (LCD for convenience) of a rational matrix plays a key role in determining whether <italic>B</italic> belongs to $ \Lambda $. We show that LCD can be described by the prime decomposition of $ q $. Generally $ \Lambda $ is not a group, and not even a subsemigroup of SL$ _n(\mathbb{Q}) $. Nevertheless, for the case $ n = 2 $, we present two families of subgroups that are maximal in $ \Lambda $ in this paper.</p></abstract>

Let Г(1) denote the homogeneous modular group of 2 × 2 matrices with integral entries and determinant 1. Let (1) be the inhomogeneous modular group of 2 × 2 integral matrices of determinant 1 in which a matrix is identified with its negative. (N), the principal congruence subgroup of level N, is the subgroup of (1) consisting of all T ∈ (1) for which T ≡ ± I (mod N), where N is a positive integer and I is the identity matrix. A subgroup of (1) is said to be a congruence group of level N if contains (N) and N is the least such integer. Similarly, we denote by Г(N) the principal congruence subgroup of level N of Г(1), consisting of those T∈(1) for which T ≡ I (mod N), and we say that a sub group of Г(1) is a congruence group of level N if contains Г (N) and N is minimal with respect to this property. In a recent paper [9] Rankin considered lattice subgroups of a free congruence subgroup of rank n of (1). By a lattice subgroup of we mean a subgroup of which contains the commutator group . In particular, he showed that, if is a congruence group of level N and if is a lattice congruence subgroup of of level qr, where r is the largest divisor of qr prime to N, then N divides q and r divides 12. He then posed the problem of finding an upper bound for the factor q. It is the purpose of this paper to find such an upper bound for q. We also consider bounds for the factor r.

We prove that for any finite index subgroup Γ in SL n(ℤ), there exists k = k(n) ∈ ℕ, ϵ = ϵ(Γ) > 0, and an infinite family of finite index subgroups in Γ with a Kazhdan constant greater than ϵ with respect to a generating set of order k. On the other hand, we prove that for any finite index subgroup Γ of SL n(ℤ), and for any ϵ > 0 and k ∈ ℕ, there exists a finite index subgroup Γ′ ≤ Γ such that the Kazhdan constant of any finite index subgroup in Γ′ is less than ϵ, with respect to any generating set of order k. In addition, we prove that the Kazhdan constant of the principal congruence subgroup Γn(m), with respect to a generating set consisting of elementary matrices (and their conjugates), is greater than [Formula: see text], where c > 0 depends only on n. For a fixed n, this bound is asymptotically best possible.

AbstractWe prove a uniform upper estimate on the number of cuspidal eigenvalues of the Γ-automorphic Laplacian below a given bound when Γ varies in a family of congruence subgroups of a given reductive linear algebraic group. Each Γ in the family is assumed to contain a principal congruence subgroup whose index in Γ does not exceed a fixed number. The bound we prove depends linearly on the covolume of Γ and is deduced from the analogous result about the cut-off Laplacian. The proof generalizes the heat-kernel method which has been applied by Donnelly in the case of a fixed lattice Γ.
