The congruence subgroup property for mapping class groups of genus at least 3

From papers

Let Σ\Sigma be a surface of genus at least 33. A finite-index subgroup of Mcg(Σ)\operatorname{Mcg}(\Sigma) is a subgroup of finite index containing the kernel of the action on a finite quotient of π1(Σ)\pi_1(\Sigma); such a subgroup is called a congruence subgroup. The congruence subgroup conjecture. Every finite-index subgroup of Mcg(Σ)\operatorname{Mcg}(\Sigma) is a congruence subgroup. The congruence subgroup property is known in genus 00, genus 11 with punctures, and genus 22, while the case of genus at least 33 is open and is connected to questions about profinite rigidity of 33-manifold groups.
