Abstract

In a recent paper, we showed that groups admitting "veelike actions" on a finite language embed in mapping class groups of certain two-sided subshifts. In this note, we illustrate this theorem for the embedding of Thompson's VV by exhibiting the piecewise linear local rules for the embedding. These turn out to split the embedding into the mapping class group, showing that VV even embeds in the mapping class group by homeomorphisms.
