In 2014, Vaughan Jones developed a method to produce links from elements of Thompson’s group [Formula: see text], and showed that all links arise this way. He also introduced a subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and a method to produce oriented links from elements of this subgroup. In 2018, Valeriano Aiello showed that all oriented links arise from this construction. We classify exactly those regular isotopy classes of links that arise from [Formula: see text], as well as exactly those regular isotopy classes of oriented links that arise from [Formula: see text], answering a question asked by Jones in 2018.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
