Abstract Let M be a compact surface without boundary, and n ≥ 2 . We analyse the quotient group B n ( M ) / Γ 2 ( P n ( M ) ) of the surface braid group B n ( M ) by the commutator subgroup Γ 2 ( P n ( M ) ) of the pure braid group P n ( M ) . If M is different from the 2-sphere S 2 , we prove that B n ( M ) / Γ 2 ( P n ( M ) ) ≅ P n ( M ) / Γ 2 ( P n ( M ) ) ⋊ φ S n , and that B n ( M ) / Γ 2 ( P n ( M ) ) is a crystallographic group if and only if M is orientable. If M is orientable, we prove… Expand

We consider the (pure) braid groups BnpMq and PnpMq, where M is the 2-sphere S2 or the real projective plane RP2. We determine the minimal cardinality of (normal) generating sets X of these groups,Expand
