Algebraic curves uniformized by congruence subgroups of triangle groups

Abstract

We construct certain subgroups of hyperbolic triangle groups which we call "congruence" subgroups. These groups include the classical congruence subgroups of SL2(ZZ), Hecke triangle groups, and 19 families of arithmetic triangle groups associated to Shimura curves. We determine the field of moduli of the curves associated to these groups and thereby realize the groups PSL2(q) and PGL2(q) regularly as Galois groups.
