Abstract: We let

v a r p h i

be an ageometric fully irreducible outer automorphism so that its Handel-Mosher axis bundle consists of a single unique axis. We show that the centralizer

C e n (l a n g l e v a r p h i a n g l e)

of the cyclic subgroup generated by

v a r p h i

equals the stabilizer

e x t S t a b (L a m b d a_{v}^{+} a r p h i)

of the attracting lamination

L a m b d a_{v a r p h i}^{+}

and is isomorphic to

m a t h b b Z

. We further show, via an analogous result about the commensurator, that the normalizer

N (l a n g l e v a r p h i a n g l e)

of

l a n g l e v a r p h i a n g l e

is isomorphic to either

m a t h b b Z

or

m a t h b b Z_{2} * m a t h b b Z_{2}

.
