Thompson's group
is the group of right-continuous bijections
of
that are linear on finitely many half-open intervals with dyadic endpoints, have
slopes that are integral powers of 2, and map dyadic rational points to dyadic rational
points. A dyadic rational has the form
, where
and
are integers (Chaudkhari
et al. 2026).
The group contains Thompson's group F and Thompson's group T. Chaudkhari
et al. (2026) proved that is a sofic group, which implies
the same conclusion for those subgroups. Their presented proof
of this stronger result was developed by the authors, after ChatGPT had produced
an earlier, weaker argument concerning Thompson's
group F.
