There seem to be several related properties of an algebraic group, exhibiting the dichotomy between rank 1 and rank $\ge2$.
Whether a lattice in the group satisfies the congruence subgroup property,

Conjugacy classes of plane k-jet group
Define $G(n, k)$ as a subgroup of $\rm{Aut}(\Bbb C[[x_1, \dots, x_n]]/\mathfrak m^{k+1})$ with identity linear part (so, group of $k$-jets of selfmaps of $\Bbb C^n$). I'm interested in the map from $G(...
