Abstract:In the quest in constructing conformal field theories (CFT) Jones has discovered a beautiful and deep connection between CFT, Richard Thompson's groups and knot theory. This led to a powerful framework for constructing actions of particular groups arising from categories such as Richard Thompson's groups and braid groups. In particular, given a group and two of its endomorphisms one can construct a semidirect product. Those semidirect products have remarkable diagrammatic descriptions which were previously use… Show more
