Recently, Vaughan Jones introduced a construction which yields oriented knots and links from elements of the oriented Thompson group F→. Here we prove, by analogy with Alexander’s classical theorem establishing that every knot or link can be represented as a closed braid, that, given an oriented knot/link L→, there exists an element g in F→ whose closure ℒ→(g) is L→.
Keywords: Thompson group, oriented Thompson group, knots, oriented knots, oriented links, Alexander theorem, binary trees
