Abstract: | We state and study the congruence subgroup problem for groups acting on rooted trees, 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 some rigidity results concerning these kernels. |
