Description
In his quest to construct conformal field theories from subfactors, Vaughan Jones found an efficient machine to construct actions of groups like the Thompson groups.
I will briefly explain the story of this discovery then present a general overview of those Jones actions providing explicit examples.
Some of the results presented come from joint works with Vaughan Jones and with Valeriano Aiello and Roberto Conti.
