Abstract

</p>

    <p>
Let <i>M</i> be a surface, and let <i>H</i> be a subgroup of <i>&pi;<sub>1</sub>M</i>. In this paper we study the commensurator subgroup <i>C<sub>\\pi_1M</sub>(H)</i> of <i>&pi;<sub>1</sub>M</i>, and we extend a result of L. Paris and D. Rolfsen [7], when <i>H</i> is a geometric subgroup of <i>&pi;<sub>1</sub>M</i>. We also give an application of commensurator subgroups to group representation theory. Finally, by considering certain closed curves on the Klein bottle, we apply a classification of these curves to self-intersection Nielsen theory.

Resumen

</b>
</p>

    <p>
Sean <i>M</i> una superf&iacute;cie y <i>H</i> un subgrupo de <i>&pi;<sub>1</sub>M</i>. En este art&iacute;culo estudiamos los subgrupos conmensuradores <i>C<sub>\\pi_1M</sub>(H)</i> de <i>&pi;<sub>1</sub>M</i>, y extendemos un resultado obtenido por L. Paris y D. Rolfsen en [7], cuando <i>H</i> es un subgrupo geom&eacute;trico de <i>&pi;<sub>1</sub>M</i>. Tambi&eacute;n daremos una aplicaci&oacute;n de estos subgrupos conmensuradores a la teor&iacute;a de representaciones de grupos. Finalmente, considerando ciertas curvas cerradas en la botella de Klein, aplicaremos una clasificaci&oacute;n de estas curvas a la Teor&iacute;a de Nielsen de auto-intersecci&oacute;n.
