Abstract

Jones introduced unitary representations for the Thompson groups FF and TT from a given subfactor planar algebra. Some interesting subgroups arise as the stabilizer of certain vector, in particular the Jones subgroups F\vec{F} and T\vec{T}. Golan and Sapir studied F\vec{F} and identified it as a copy of the Thompson group F3F_3. In this paper we completely describe T\vec{T} and show that T\vec{T} coincides with its commensurator in TT, implying that the corresponding unitary representation is irreducible. We also generalize the notion of the Stallings 2-core for diagram groups to TT, showing that T\vec{T} and T3T_3 are not isomorphic, but as annular diagram groups they have very similar presentations.
