In 1933 B.~H.~Neumann constructed uncountably many subgroups of ${rm SL}_2(mathbb Z)$ which act regularly on the primitive elements of $mathbb Z^2$. As pointed out by Magnus, their images in the modular group ${rm PSL}_2(mathbb Z)cong C_3*C_2$ are maximal nonparabolic subgroups, that is, maximal with respect to containing no parabolic elements. We strengthen and extend this result by giving a simple construction using planar maps to show that for all integers $pge 3$, $qge 2$ the triangle group $Gamma=Delta(p,q,infty)cong C_p*C_q$ has uncountably many conjugacy classes of nonparabolic maximal subgroups. We also extend results of Tretkoff and of Brenner and Lyndon for the modular group by constructing uncountably many conjugacy classes of such subgroups of $Gamma$ which do not arise from Neumanns original method. These maximal subgroups are all generated by elliptic elements, of finite order, but a similar construction yields uncountably many conjugacy classes of torsion-free maximal subgroups of the Hecke groups $C_p*C_2$ for odd $pge 3$. Finally, an adaptation of work of Conder yields uncountably many conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups of $Delta(2,3,r)$ for all $rge 7$.
In this paper, we study a group in which every 2-maximal subgroup is a Hall subgroup.
Let $A$ be the ring of elements in an algebraic function field $K$ over a finite field $F_q$ which are integral outside a fixed place $infty$. In an earlier paper we have shown that the Drinfeld modular group $G=GL_2(A)$ has automorphisms which map c
We investigate the class $mathcal{MN}$ of groups with the property that all maximal subgroups are normal. The class $mathcal{MN}$ appeared in the framework of the study of potential counter-examples to the Andrews-Curtis conjecture. In this note we g
We count the finitely generated subgroups of the modular group $textsf{PSL}(2,mathbb{Z})$. More precisely: each such subgroup $H$ can be represented by its Stallings graph $Gamma(H)$, we consider the number of vertices of $Gamma(H)$ to be the size of
Let $mathfrak{X}$ be a class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, homomorphic images and extensions. It is known that if $A$ is a normal subgroup of a finite group $G$ then the image of an $mathfrak{X}$-maximal subgroup $H$ of $G$ in $G/A$
