Thompson groups are a family of groups that arise in the area of geometric group theory, named after the mathematician J. G. Thompson who introduced them. They are defined in the context of homeomorphisms of the unit interval \([0, 1]\) and can be understood as groups of piecewise linear homeomorphisms.
