Algorithms for arithmetic groups with the congruence subgroup property

Group Theory 2019-06-26 v1

Abstract

We develop practical techniques to compute with arithmetic groups HSL(n,Q)H\leq \mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{Q}) for n>2n>2. Our approach relies on constructing a principal congruence subgroup in HH. Problems solved include testing membership in HH, analyzing the subnormal structure of HH, and the orbit-stabilizer problem for HH. Effective computation with subgroups of GL(n,Zm)\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z}_m) is vital to this work. All algorithms have been implemented in GAP.
