Geometric subgroups of surface braid groups
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 49 (1999) no. 2, pp. 417-472.

Soient M une surface, N une sous-surface et nm deux entiers positifs. L’inclusion de N dans M induit un homomorphisme du groupe B n N des tresses à n brins de N dans le groupe B m M des tresses à m brins de M. Nous donnons dans un premier temps des conditions nécessaires et suffisantes pour que cet homomorphisme soit injectif et caractérisons le commensurateur, le normalisateur et le centralisateur de π 1 N dans π 1 M. Ensuite, nous déterminons le commensurateur, le normalisateur et le centralisateur de B n N dans B m M dans les cas où N est un disque et où N est large.

Let M be a surface, let N be a subsurface, and let nm be two positive integers. The inclusion of N in M gives rise to a homomorphism from the braid group B n N with n strings on N to the braid group B m M with m strings on M. We first determine necessary and sufficient conditions that this homomorphism is injective, and we characterize the commensurator, the normalizer and the centralizer of π 1 N in π 1 M. Then we calculate the commensurator, the normalizer and the centralizer of B n N in B m M for large surface braid groups.
