Centrality conjecture for the Sigma-congruence kernel

Let Σ={q,}\Sigma=\{q,\infty\}, where qq is a prime as in the preceding construction, and let B(1)B^{(1)} be the norm-one subgroup of the quaternion algebra BB. Write C(Σ)C(\Sigma) for the kernel of the natural map from the Σ\Sigma-arithmetic completion of B(1)B^{(1)} to its Σ\Sigma-congruence completion; this is the Σ\Sigma-congruence kernel. Centrality conjecture. The group C(Σ)C(\Sigma) is central. The source presents this as a conjectural sufficient condition for the congruence subgroup property of the relevant qq-arithmetic subgroup, and states that the underlying congruence subgroup problem remains open.
