Abstract: We consider a conformal invariant of braids, the extremal length with totally real horizontal boundary values lambdatr. The invariant descends to an invariant of elements of mathcalBndiagupmathcalZn, the braid group modulo its center. We prove that the number of elements of mathcalB3diagupmathcalZ3 of positive lambdatr grows exponentially. The estimate applies to obtain effective finiteness theorems in the spirit of the geometric Shafarevich conjecture over Riemann surfaces of second kind. As a corollary we obtain another proof of the exponential growth of the number of conjugacy classes of mathcalB3diagupmathcalZ3 with positive entropy not exceeding Y.
