Abstract: Recently Vaughan Jones showed that the R. Thompson group $F$ encodes in a natural way all knots, and a certain subgroup $vecF$ of $F$ encodes all oriented knots. We answer several questions of Jones about $vecF$. In particular we prove that the subgroup $vecF$ is generated by $x_0{x}_1,x_1{x}_2,x_2{x}_3$ (where $x_i,i=0,1,2,\mathrm{...}$ are the standard generators of $F$) and is isomorphic to $F_3$, the analog of $F$ where all slopes are powers of $3$ and break points are $3$-adic rationals. We also show that $vecF$ coincides with its commensurator. Hence the linearization of the permutational representation of $F$ on $F/vecF$ is irreducible.
