In this paper, a formula is given for the Mo bius number +(1, S n ) of the subgroup lattice of the symmetric group S n . This formula involves the Mo bius numbers of certain transitive subgroups of S n . When n has at most two (not necessarily distinct) prime factors or n is a power of two, this for

β¦ Synopsis
A complete description of the lattice of all normal subgroups not contained in the stabilizer of the fourth level of the tree and, consequently, of index β€ 2 12 in the Grigorchuk group G is given. This leads to the following sharp version of the congruence property: a normal subgroup not contained in the stabilizer at level n + 1 contains the stabilizer at level n + 3 (in fact such a normal subgroup contains the subgroup N n+1 ), but, in general, it does not contain the stabilizer at level n + 2. The determination of all normal subgroups at each level n β₯ 4 is then reduced to the analysis of certain G-modules which depend only on n and the previous description, as for the analogous problem for the automorphism group of the regular rooted tree.

Normalizers of 1 0 (m)+w 2 and 1 0 (m)+w 3 in PSL 2 (R) are determined. The determination of such normalizers enables us to determine the normalizers (in PSL 2 (R)) of the congruence subgroups G 0 4 (A) and G 0 6 (A) of the Hecke groups G 4 and G 6 .
