Abstract: A few years ago Vaughan Jones devised a method to construct knots and links from elements of the Thompson groups. Given an element $g$ of $F_3$ we construct a permutation $mathcalP(g)$ which we call its Thompson permutation. By analogy with the braid group, we show that the number of the connected components of the link $mathcalL(g)$ is equal to the number of orbits of its Thompson permutation.
