241304 The congruence subgroup problem for automorphism groups of free groups (AG) (SoSe 2017)

Contents, comment

Arithmetic groups such as SL(n,Z) have what is called the congruence subgroup property, i.e., any finite index normal subgroup contain a so called congruence subgroup. One can define analogous congruence subgroups in Aut(F_n) and ask whether any finite index normal subgroup of Aut(F_n) contains one of them. This is the *open* congruence subgroup problem for Aut(F_n).

We plan to read the relevant literature on what is known about the problem. Ideally, we would then continue and solve it.
