Free abelian quotients of commensurators
For every group $\Gamma$, we define a homomorphism $d^\Gamma : \mathrm{Comm}(\Gamma) \to \mathbb{Z}^{(\mathcal{FS})}$ from the abstract commensurator $\mathrm{Comm}(\Gamma)$ to the free abelian group $\mathbb{Z}^{(\mathcal{FS})}$ with basis the collection $\mathcal{FS}$ of isomorphism classes of finite simple groups.
