 Congruence subgroup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a congruence subgroup of a matrix group with integer entries is a subgroup defined by congruence conditions on the entries.
Detailed information about the congruence subgroups of the modular group Gamma has proved basic in much research, in number theory, and in other areas such as monstrous moonshine.
The modular group Λ (also called the theta subgroup) is another subgroup of the modular group Γ.

A Fuchsian group is always a discrete group, and is a special case of a lattice in a semisimple Lie group.
In mathematics, a discrete group is a group G equipped with the discrete topology.
The group PSL(2,R) acts on H by linear fractional transformations: In mathematics, the general linear group of degree n over a field F (such as R or C), written as GL(n, F), is the group of n×n invertible matrices with entries from F, with the group operation that of ordinary matrix multiplication.

The modular group is a group $\Gamma$, consisting of certain "fractional linear transformations" of the complex plane.
Modular and elliptic functions are both special cases of the concept of an automorphic function, which is a meromorphic function of 1 or more complex variables defined on a particular complex manifold and invariant under a particular group of analytic transformations (symmetries) of the manifold.
Modular functions are, then, the automorphic functions on the upper half plane under the action of the modular group.

Also, technically, the modular group is PSL(2,Z), not SL(2,Z), although the distinction is usually glossed over in practice.
Having said that, I have questioned the relevance of his S*L(2,Z) to the modular group anyway, as the modular group is isomorphic to PSL(2,Z) - see this section on his talk page.

It is for this reason that doubly-periodic functions, such as elliptic functions, possess a modular group symmetry.
The action of the modular group on the rational numbers can most easily be understood by envisioning a square grid, with grid point (p,q) corresponding to the fraction p/q.
In both cases, the numbers can be arranged to form a semigroup subset of the modular group.

In mathematics, the modular group Γ is a matrix group that is a fundamental object of study in number theory, geometry, algebra, and many other areas of advanced mathematics.
Definition The modular group Γ (Gamma) = SL(2,Z) is the 2-dimensional special linear group over the integers.
For this reason, the group of orientation-preserving isometries of H is actually PSL(2,R), not SL(2,R).

The goal here is to establish that these are once again given by the modular group, and that furthermore, these have utility in that they are automorphisms of the unit interval: they are both injective and surjective maps of the unit interval.
Here, a modular form is a kind of analytic function that is closely related to elliptic functions, and has a certain type of modular group symmetry.
The interior is compared visually to the Dedkind Eta (a modular form of weight 12) and the Weierstrass elliptic invariant g2 (a modular form of weight 2), as well as to sums built from the number-theoretic divisor function.

What I termed the ``Shimura-Taniyama-Weil'' conjecture became known as the ``modular curve conjecture'' and then, from the summer of 1999, as the ``modular curve theorem'' after the work of Breuil, Conrad, Diamond, and Taylor in the same vein as the work of Wiles and Taylor for the ``semi-stable'' case.
The linear group $\Gl{3}{k}$ acts on the space of cubics, and two cubic curves in $\Proj{2}$ that are related by this action are isomorphic.
However the final calculation of a precise upper bound for the Selmer group in the semistable case (of the symmetric square representation associated to a modular form) is not yet complete as it stands.

 Congruence subgroup   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
It can be posed in topological terms: if Γ is some arithmetic group, there is a topology on Γ for which a base ofneighbourhoods of {e} is the set of subgroups of finite index; and there is another topology defined in the same way using onlycongruence subsgroups.
Therefore the problem can be posed as arelationship of two compact topological groups, with the question reduced to calculation of a possible kernel.
The use of adele methods for automorphic representations (for example in the Langlands program) implicitly uses that kind of completion with respect to a congruence subgroup topology- for the reason that then all congruence subgroups can then be treated within a single group representation.

For this we study special eigenfunctions of the transfer operators with eigenvalues $\mp 1$, which are also solutions of the Lewis equations for the groups $\Gamma_{0}(n)$ and which are determined by eigenfunctions of the transfer operator for the modular group $\PSL (2,\mathbb{Z})$.
It turns out that the sum of the components of these old solutions for the group $\Gamma_{0}(n)$ determine for any $n$ a solution of the Lewis equation for the modular group and hence also an eigenfunction of the transfer operator for this group.
Indeed these operators are just the Hecke operators for the period functions of the modular group derived previously by Zagier and M\"uhlenbruch using the Eichler-Manin-Shimura correspondence between period polynomials and modular forms for the modular group.

 NSDL Metadata Record -- $\Gamma(2)$ modular symmetry, renormalization, group flow and the quantum Hall effect
We construct a family of holomorphic $\beta$-functions whose RG flow preserves the $\Gamma(2)$ modular symmetry and reproduces the observed stability of the Hall plateaus.
The semi-circle law relating the longitudinal and Hall conductivities that has been observed experimentally is obtained from the integration of the RG equations for any permitted transition which can be identified from the selection rules encoded in the flow diagram.
The existence of a crossing point occuring in the crossover of the permitted transitions is discussed.

These two permutations generate a subgroup $G=\langle g_0, g_1\rangle$ of the symmetric group $S^E$ of all permutations of $E$, called the {\sl monodromy group} of $\cal B$; the topological hypotheses imply that ${\cal G}$ has to be connected, so $G$ acts transitively on $E$.
Conversely, every $2$-generator transitive group arises in this way from some bipartite map $\cal B$: the edges are the symbols permuted, the fl and white vertices correspond to the cycles of the two generators $g_0$ and $g_1$, and the faces correspond to the cycles of $g_{\infty}=(g_0g_1)^{-1}$.
Similarly, the automorphism group of $\cal B$ is identified with the group of covering transformations of $\beta$.

Geometrically, modularity means that the curve C can be parameterized by means of an algebraic map by one of the particular Riemann surfaces X_0(N) where N is an integer.
This surface may be described as the result of taking the upper half plane H of the complex plane and glueing together any two points of H which are translates of each other under the action of the modular group Gamma_0(N).
You may be familiar with the process of taking the plane and glueing together points whose coordinates differ by integers, resulting in the torus; well, this replaces the straight-edge fundamental domain of the group Z+Z by the loopy-edged fundamental domains of the Gamma_0(N)'s.

In this paper, using the theory of modular forms, we prove seven identities of the following type: $$\sum_{k=0}^{[n/m]}\sigma_r(k)\sigma_s(n-mk)=P\sigma_{r+s+1}(n)+ Qn\sigma_{r+s-1}(n),\tag1 $$ which hold for every $n$ satisfying suitable congruences, for suitable integers $m\ge2$ and $r,s=1$ or 3, and for rationals $P$ and $Q$ (Theorem 2).
1,$ the Eisenstein series $$E_{2k}(\tau):=1+\frac2{\zeta(1-2k)}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sigma_{2k-1}(n)q^n$$ are modular forms of weight $2k$ for $\Gamma.$ The function $E_2(\tau):=1-24\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sigma_1(n)q^n$ is not a modular form, but is transformed under the action of $ SL(2,\Bbb Z)$ as follows: $$E_2\left(\frac{a\tau+b}{c\tau+d}\right)=(c\tau+d)^{2}E_2(\tau)+\frac6 {\pi i}c(c\tau+d).$$ We shall also denote $E_{2k,m}(\tau)=E_{2k}(m\tau).$ For $k>1,$ the functions $E_{2k,m}$ are modular forms of weight $2k$ for $\Gamma_0(m).$ \subheading{3.
With the same notation as above, for a modular form $f$ of weight $2k$ for $\Gamma_0(m)$ we have $$f\left(\frac{a}{c}\right)=\lim_{\tau\rightarrow i\infty} (c\tau+d)^{-2k}f\left(\frac{a\tau+b}{c\tau+d}\right)= \lim_{\varepsilon\rightarrow 0} (c\varepsilon)^{2k} f\left(\frac{a}{c}+\varepsilon\right).
