Abstract
Let be the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of fixing the boundary pointwise and marked points as a set. Nielsen realization problem for the braid group asks whether the natural projection has a section over subgroups of . All of the previous methods either use torsions or Thurston stability, which do not apply to the pure braid group , the subgroup of that fixes marked points pointwise. In this paper, we show that the pure braid group has no realization inside the area-preserving homeomorphisms using rotation numbers.
