Congruence Subgroup Property for nilpotent groups and subsurface subgroups of Mapping Class Groups

Group Theory 2024-12-03 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We prove the Congruence Subgroup Property for two families of subgroups of Mapping Class Groups of finite-type surfaces. The first one is related to nilpotent quotients of the fundamental group and Johnson filtration, and along the way we give an elementary proof of a theorem of Ben-Ezra-Lubotzky. The second family consists of certain geometric subgroups obtained via subsurface inclusions.
