Virtual Thompson's group
Thompson's group \(F\) can be viewed as the diagram group arising from the semigroup presentation \(\langle x\mid x\to xx\rangle\). The authors construct a new group called \textit{virtual Thompson's group} \(VF\), defined as the diagram group arising from the semigroup presentation with generators \(x\) and \(v\), and eight defining relations of the form \(a\to bc\), one for each choice of \(a,b,c\in\{x,v\}\). The motivation comes from virtual knot theory and virtual braid theory, where every virtual link arises as the closure of a virtual braid. Much like Jones proved in [\textit{V. F. R. Jones}, J. Comb. Algebra 1, No. 1, 1--44 (2017; Zbl 1472.57014)] that every link can be obtained in a certain way from an element of \(F\), the authors prove (Theorem~1.1) that every virtual link can be obtained from an element of \(VF\).
