Abstract
For 2__g__ – 2 + n > 0, let Γ~g, n~ be the Teichmüller group of a compact Riemann surface of genus g with n points removed S~g, n~ , i.e., the group of homotopy classes of diffeomorphisms of S~g, n~ which preserve the orientation of S~g, n~ and a given order of its punctures. There is a natural faithful representation Γ~g, n~ → Out(π ~1~(S~g, n~ )). For any given finite index subgroup Γ^λ^ of Γ~g, n~ , the congruence subgroup problem asks whether there exists a finite index characteristic subgroup K of π ~1~(S~g, n~ ) such that the kernel of the induced representation Γ~g, n~ → Out(π ~1~(S~g, n~ )/K ) is contained in Γ^λ^ . The main result of the paper is an affirmative answer to this question. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract Teichmüller curves are geodesic discs in Teichmüller space that project to algebraic curves __C__ in the moduli space __M~g~__. Some Teichmüller curves can be considered as components of Hurwitz spaces. We show that the absolute Galois group __G__~ℚ~ acts faithfully on the set of these
## Abstract In this paper, we study a special class of compact quantum groups, namely, the profinite quantum groups.
