Abstract: Let $R$ be a commutative ring that is free of rank $k$ as an abelian group, $p$ a prime, and $SL(n,R)$ the special linear group. We show that the Lie algebra associated to the filtration of $SL(n,R)$ by $p$-congruence subgroups is isomorphic to the tensor product $$, the Lie algebra of polynomials with zero constant term and coefficients $nimesn$ traceless matrices with entries polynomials in $k$ variables over $F_p$. We use the Lie algebra structure along with the Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence to compute the $d^2$ homology differential for certain central extensions involving quotients of $p$-congruence subgroups. We also use the underlying group structure to obtain several homological results. For example, we compute the first homology group of the level $p$-congruence subgroup for $ngeq3$. We show that the cohomology groups of the level $p^r$-congruence subgroup are not finitely generated for $n=2$ and $$. Finally, we show that for $n=2$ and $$, the Gaussian integers, the second cohomology group of the level $p^r$-congruence subgroup has dimension at least two as an $F_p$-vector space.
