Abstract: | The Bianchi Groups Γd are PSL2(0d) where 0d is the ring of integers in the quadratic imaginary number field Q√-d with d a positive square-free rational integer. If d=1,2,3,7,11 0d has a Euclidean algorithm and the corresponding groups are called the Euclidean Bianchi Groups. The group Γ1 is the Picard Group has been studied independently. Here the subgroup structure of the remaining Euclidean Bianchi Groups is investigated. We show that they have a unique normal subgroup of index in if(n,6)=1 among other results. We also classify the abelian and nilpotent subgroups and discuss the structure of both congruence and non-congruence subgroups. |
