Abstract

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