Abstract: We show that the group cohomology of the diffeomorphisms of the disk with $n$ punctures has the cohomology of the braid group of $n$ strands as the summand. As an application of this method, we also prove that there is no cohomological obstruction to lifting the "standard" embedding $mathrm{Br}_{2g+2}hookrightarrowmathrm{Mod}_{g,2}$ to a group homomorphism between diffeomorphism groups.
