Abstract

Recently, Jones introduced a method of constructing knots and links from elements of Thompson's group FF by using its unitary representations. He also defined several subgroups of FF as the stabilizer subgroups and some researchers studied them algebraically. One of the subgroups is called the 3-colorable subgroup F\mathcal{F}, and the authors proved that all knots and links obtained from non-trivial elements of F\mathcal{F} are 3-colorable. In this paper, for any odd integer pp greater than two, we define the pp-colorable subgroup of FF whose non-trivial elements yield pp-colorable knots and links and show it is isomorphic to the certain Brown--Thompson group.
