Abstract: A theorem of Farb and Handel asserts that for $Nge4$, the natural inclusion from $mathrmOut(F_N)$ into its abstract commensurator is an isomorphism. We give a new proof of their result, which enables us to generalize it to the case where $N=3$. More generally, we give sufficient conditions on a subgroup $Gamma$ of $mathrmOut(F_N)$ ensuring that its abstract commensurator $mathrmComm(Gamma)$ is isomorphic to its relative commensurator in $mathrmOut(F_N)$. In particular, we prove that the abstract commensurator of the Torelli subgroup $mathrm{IA}_N$ for all $Nge3$, or more generally any term of the Andreadakis--Johnson filtration if $Nge4$, is equal to $mathrmOut(F_N)$. Likewise, if $Gamma$ the kernel of the natural map from $mathrmOut(F_N)$ to the outer automorphism group of a free Burnside group of rank $Ngeq3$, then the natural map $mathrmOut(F_N)omathrmComm(Gamma)$ is an isomorphism.
