Abstract:
In this article we define a new family of subgroups of Fuchsian groups , for a squarefree positive integer , and calculate their index in and their parabolic class number. Moreover, we will show that the index of these subgroups is closely related to the solvability of a quadratic congruence and the number of inequivalent solutions of a quadratic congruence . Finally, we will show that the results obtained by Yilmaz and Keskin [Acta Math. Sin 25 (2005), 215-222] are immediate corollaries of one of the main theorems of this article.
