Commensurators of surface braid groups

Group Theory 2015-02-02 v4 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We prove that if g and n are integers at least two, then the abstract commensurator of the braid group with n strands on a closed orientable surface of genus g is naturally isomorphic to the extended mapping class group of a compact orientable surface of genus g with n boundary components.
