Abstract: Let $ K$ be a number field with $ r$ real places and $ s$ complex places, and let $ \mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring of integers of $ K$. The quotient $ [\mathbb{H}^2]^r\times [\mathbb{H}^3]^s/\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathcal{O}_K)$ has $ h_K$ cusps, where $ h_K$ is the class number of $ K$. We show that under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis that if $ K$ is not $ \mathbb{Q}$ or an imaginary quadratic field and if $ i \not \in K$, then $ \mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathcal{O}_K)$ has infinitely many maximal subgroups with $ h_K $ cusps. A key element in the proof is a connection to Artin's Primitive Root Conjecture.
