On Jones' subgroup of R. Thompson group \(F\)




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 x0x1,x1x2,x2x3 (where xi,i=0,1,2,... are the standard generators of F) and is isomorphic to F3, 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.
