چکیده
This is a short survey of the progress on the congruence subgroup problem since the sixties when the first major results on the integral unimodular groups appeared. It is aimed at the non-specialists and avoids technical details.

متن کاملThe congruence subgroup problem for SLn(Z)
Following Bass–Milnor–Serre, we prove that SLn(Z) has the congruence subgroup property for n ≥ 3. This was originally proved by Mennicke and Bass–Lazard–Serre. Let Γn = SLn(Z). The congruence subgroup problem for Γn (solved independently by Mennicke [Me] and Bass–Lazard–Serre [BLS]) seeks to classify all finite-index subgroups of Γn. For l ≥ 2, the level l principal congruence subgroup of Γn, d...
متن کاملThe Congruence Subgroup Problem for Branch Groups
We state and study the congruence subgroup problem for groups acting on rooted tree, and for branch groups in particular. The problem is reduced to the computation of the congruence kernel, which we split into two parts: the branch kernel and the rigid kernel. In the case of regular branch groups, we prove that the first one is Abelian while the second has finite exponent. We also establish som...
متن کاملGlobally analytic $p$-adic representations of the pro--$p$--Iwahori subgroup of $GL(2)$ and base change, I : Iwasawa algebras and a base change map
This paper extends to the pro-$p$ Iwahori subgroup of $GL(2)$ over an unramified finite extension of $mathbb{Q}_p$ the presentation of the Iwasawa algebra obtained earlier by the author for the congruence subgroup of level one of $SL(2, mathbb{Z}_p)$. It then describes a natural base change map between the Iwasawa algebras or more correctly, as it turns out, between the global distribut...
