This papers deals with congruence subgroups of convex cocompact subgroups of PSL2(Z). We examine the behaviour of the resonance spectrum when the congruence parameter q goes to infinity: we show a lower bound for the counting function in discs and an upper bound in vertical strips. These results show drastically different behaviour on both sides of the critical line $\Re(s)=δ/2$.
In this paper we study a relation between conductor, depth, and the level of principal congruence subgroups for irreducible admissible representations of ${\rm GL}_n(F)$ for a non-archimedean local field $F$ of characteristic zero. Some global and local applications are also discussed.
It is known that the Selberg zeta function for the modular group has an expression in terms of the class numbers and the fundamental units of the indefinite binary quadratic forms. In the present paper, we generalize such a expression to any congruence subgroup of the modular groups in SL(2,R) and SL(2,C).
We construct certain subgroups of hyperbolic triangle groups which we call "congruence" subgroups. These groups include the classical congruence subgroups of SL_2(ZZ), Hecke triangle groups, and 19 families of arithmetic triangle groups associated to Shimura curves. We determine the field of moduli of the curves associated to these groups and thereby realize the groups PSL_2(q) and PGL_2(q) regularly as Galois groups.
Let $X$ be a locally symmetric space defined by a simple Chevalley group $G$ and a congruence subgroup of $G(\mathbb Q)$. In this generality, the Weyl law for $X$ was proved by Lindenstrauss--Venkatesh. In the case where $G$ is simply connected, we sharpen their result by giving a power saving estimate for the remainder term.
We answer positively a question of Church, Miller, Nagpal and Reinhold on existence of a linear bound on the presentation degree of the homology of a complex of FI-modules. This implies a linear stable range for the homology of congruence subgroups of general linear groups.
Let $A$ be the ring of elements in an algebraic function field $K$ over a finite field $F_q$ which are integral outside a fixed place $\infty$. In an earlier paper we have shown that the Drinfeld modular group $G=GL_2(A)$ has automorphisms which map congruence subgroups to non-congruence subgroups. Here we prove the existence of (uncountably many) normal genuine non-congruence subgroups, defined to be those which remain non-congruence under the action of every automorphism of $G$. In addition, for all but finitely many cases we evaluate $ngncs(G)$, the smallest index of a normal genuine non-co…
In the course of the proof of the irrationality of zeta(2) R. Apery introduced numbers b_n = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k}^2{n+k \choose k}. Stienstra and Beukers showed that for the prime p > 3 Apery numbers satisfy congruence b((p-1)/2) = 4a^2-2p mod p, if p = a^2+b^2 (where a is odd). Later, Zagier found some generalizations of Apery numbers, so called sporadic sequences, and recently Osburn and Straub proved similar congruences for all but one of the six Zagier's sporadic sequences (three cases were already known to be true) and conjectured the congruence for the sixth sequence. In this paper…
We derive explicit isomorphisms between certain congruence subgroups of the Siegel modular group, the Hermitian modular group over an arbitrary imaginary-quadratic number field and the modular group over the Hurwitz quaternions of degree 2 and the discriminant kernels of special orthogonal groups SO 0 (2, n), n = 3, 4, 6. The proof is based on an application of linear algebra adapted to the number theoretical needs.
Using the Kuznetsov formula, we prove several density theorems for exceptional Hecke and Laplacian eigenvalues of Maass cusp forms of weight 0 or 1 for the congruence subgroups $Γ_0(q)$, $Γ_1(q)$, and $Γ(q)$. These improve and extend upon results of Sarnak and Huxley, who prove similar but slightly weaker results via the Selberg trace formula.
We introduce and study families of finite index subgroups of the modular group that generalize the congruence subgroups. Such groups, termed $ϕ$-congruence subgroups, are obtained by reducing homomorphisms $ϕ$ from the modular group into a linear algebraic group modulo integers. In particular, we examine two families of examples, arising on the one hand from a map into a quasi-unipotent group, and on the other hand from maps into symplectic groups of degree four. In the quasi-unipotent case we also provide a detailed discussion of the corresponding modular forms, using the fact that the tower …
We obtain new results about the representation of almost all residues modulo a prime $p$ by a product of a small integer and also an element of small multiplicative subgroup of $({\mathbb Z}/p{\mathbb Z})^*$. These results are based on some ideas, and their modifications, of a recent work of J. Cilleruelo and M. Z. Garaev (2014),
We prove a representation stability result for the codimension-one cohomology of the level three congruence subgroup of $\mathbf{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$. This is a special case of a question of Church-Farb-Putman which we make more precise. Our methods involve proving several finiteness properties of the Steinberg module for the group $\mathbf{SL}_n(K)$ for $K$ a field. This also lets us give a new proof of Ash-Putman-Sam's homological vanishing theorem for the Steinberg module. We also prove an integral refinement of Church-Putman's homological vanishing theorem for the Steinberg module for the gr…
For a positive integer $k$, we extend the surjectivity results from special linear groups (Type $A_k$) and symplectic linear groups (Type $C_k$) onto product of generalized projective spaces by associating the rows or columns, to certain congruence ideal subgroups of special linear groups and symplectic linear groups.
Let $Γ<\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ be a non-elementary finitely generated subgroup and let $Γ(q)$ be its congruence subgroup of level $q$ for each $q\in \mathbb{N}$. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the matrix coefficients of $L^2(Γ(q) \backslash \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R}))$ with a {\it uniform} exponential error term for all square-free $q$ with no small prime divisors. As an application we establish a uniform resonance-free half plane for the resolvent of the Laplacian on $Γ(q) \backslash \mathbb{H}^2$ over $q$ as above. Our approach is to extend Dolgopyat's dynamical proof of exponential m…
In a previous paper, we obtained a general trace formula for double coset operators acting on modular forms for congruence subgroups, expressed as a sum over conjugacy classes. Here we specialize it to the congruence subgroups $Γ_0(N)$ and $Γ_1(N)$, obtaining explicit formulas in terms of class numbers for the trace of a composition of Hecke and Atkin-Lehner operators. The formulas are among the simplest in the literature, and hold without any restriction on the index of the operators. We give two applications of the trace formula for $Γ_1(N)$: we determine explicit trace forms for $Γ_0(4)$ wi…
In this paper we prove that for a fixed neat principal congruence subgroup of a Bianchi group the order of the torsion part of its second cohomology group with coefficients in an integral lattice associated to the m-th symmetric power of the standard representation of SL_2(C) grows exponentially in m^2. We give upper and lower bounds for the growth rate. Our result extends a result of Mueller and Marshall, who proved the corresponding statement for closed arithmetic 3-manifolds, to the finite-volume case. We also prove a limit multiplicity formula for twisted combinatorial Reidemeister torsion…
There are many families of functions on partitions, such as the shifted symmetric functions, for which the corresponding q-brackets are quasimodular forms. We extend these families so that the corresponding q-brackets are quasimodular for a congruence subgroup. Moreover, we find subspaces of these families for which the q-bracket is a modular form. These results follow from the properties of Taylor coefficients of strictly meromorphic quasi-Jacobi forms around rational lattice points.

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $Γ\subset G(\mathbb{Q})$ an arithmetic subgroup. Let $K_\infty\subset G(\mathbb{R})$ be a maximal compact subgroup. We study the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions of the cuspidal and residual spectrum, respectively, of the regular representation of $G(\mathbb{R})$ in $L^2(Γ\backslash G(\mathbb{R}))$ of a fixed $K_\infty$-type $σ$. A conjecture, which is due to Sarnak, states that the counting function of the cuspidal spectrum of type $σ$ satisfies Weyl's law and the residual spectrum is of lower order growth. Using the Ar…
In this article, the authors give a lower bound on the number of sign changes of Fourier coefficients of a non-zero degree two Siegel cusp form of even integral weight on a Hecke congruence subgroup. They also provide an explicit upper bound for the first sign change of Fourier coefficients of such Siegel cusp forms. Explicit upper bound on the first sign change of Fourier coefficients of a non-zero Siegel cusp form of even integral weight on the Siegel modular group for arbitrary genus were dealt in an earlier work of Choie, the first author and Kohnen.
