Abstract:
We obtain conditions under which ${\text {PSL}}_2({Z_{{p^n}}}[x]/(f(x)))$ is a factor of $(l,m,n)$. Using this, certain results about factors of cocompact Fuchsian groups are obtained. For example, it is shown that: (i) $\Gamma$ has infinitely many simple nonabelian factors. (ii) $\Gamma$ has factors with nontrivial center. (iii) For each $n$, there exists $m$ such that $\Gamma$ has at least $n$ factors of order $m$. Further, all factored normal subgroups can be taken torsion-free. Also, new Hurwitz groups and noncongruence subgroups of the modular group are obtained.References
