Abstract

The normalizer \(\varGamma _B(N)\) of \(\varGamma _0(N)\) in \(PSL(2,{\mathbb {R}})\) is the triangle group \((2,3,\infty )\) for \(N=2^\alpha 3^\beta \) where \(\alpha =0,2,4,6\); \(\beta =0,2\). In this paper we examine relationship between the normalizer and the regular maps for these values. We define a family of subgroups of the normalizer and then we study maps with triangular faces using these subgroups and calculating the associated arithmetic structure.
