This chapter deals with the Dehn–Nielsen–Baer theorem, one of the most beautiful connections between topology and algebra in the mapping class group. It begins by defining the objects in the statement of the Dehn–Nielsen–Baer theorem, including the extended mapping class group and outer automorphism groups. It then considers the use of the notion of quasi-isometry in Dehn's original proof of the Dehn–Nielsen–Baer theorem. In particular, it discusses a theorem on the fundamental observation of geometric group theory, along with the property of being linked at infinity. It also presents the proof of the Dehn–Nielsen–Baer theorem and an analysis of the induced homeomorphism at infinity before concluding with two other proofs of the Dehn–Nielsen–Baer theorem, one inspired by 3-manifold theory and one using harmonic maps.

In this paper, we compute the automorphism groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of braid groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on every orientable surface [Formula: see text], which are isomorphic to group extensions of the extended mapping class group [Formula: see text] by the transvection subgroup except for a few cases. We also prove that [Formula: see text] is always a characteristic subgroup of [Formula: see text], unless [Formula: see text] is a twice-punctured sphere and [Formula: see text].
