The theory of algebraic curves associated with subgroups of finite index in the modular group Γ is highly developed for such subgroups of Γ as may be defined by means of congruences in the ring ℤ of rational integers. The situation in he case of non-congruence subgroups of Γ, on the other hand, is drastically different. It reduces to a few isolated examples, two of which may be found in [12]. Related research by A. O. L. Atkin and H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer began in [1].

SynopsisIt is shown that the index of a congruence subgroup of the modular group cannot be less than the level of the subgroup. This allows a number of existence theorems about non-congruence subgroups.The level of a subgroup of the modular group can be defined in terms of the action on Q ∪ {∞}. We define a similar action to get information on congruence subgroups. In fact, we get a more powerful result, but this appears to be the most useful version.
