Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Algebra
  • Pure mathematics
  • Mathematical analysis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Pure mathematics, Subfactor, Combinatorics, Planar algebra and Discrete mathematics. The concepts of his Pure mathematics study are interwoven with issues in Algebraic number and Algebra. The various areas that Vaughan F. R. Jones examines in his Subfactor study include Fibonacci number, Principal part, Haagerup property, Temperley–Lieb algebra and Coupling constant.

His Planar algebra research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Quotient, Bratteli diagram, Conditional expectation and Graph. His Edge-transitive graph and Foster graph study in the realm of Discrete mathematics interacts with subjects such as HOMFLY polynomial and Bracket polynomial. His Algebra representation research incorporates elements of Braid theory, Hecke algebra and Filtered algebra.

His most cited work include:

  • Index for subfactors (1494 citations)
  • A polynomial invariant for knots via von Neumann algebras (1407 citations)
  • Hecke algebra representations of braid groups and link polynomials (1366 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Vaughan F. R. Jones mostly deals with Pure mathematics, Planar algebra, Combinatorics, Subfactor and Algebra. His Pure mathematics research integrates issues from Knot theory and Haagerup property. His studies deal with areas such as Structure, Quadratic equation, Algebra over a field, Subalgebra and Temperley–Lieb algebra as well as Planar algebra.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Subfactor, Algebraic number are connected with Quantum field theory and other disciplines. His Braid group research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Knot polynomial, Markov chain and Hecke algebra. His Voltage graph study in the realm of Discrete mathematics connects with subjects such as HOMFLY polynomial and Bracket polynomial.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pure mathematics (53.40%)
  • Planar algebra (34.95%)
  • Combinatorics (26.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Pure mathematics (53.40%)
  • Planar algebra (34.95%)
  • Hilbert space (6.80%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Pure mathematics, Planar algebra, Hilbert space, Knot theory and Combinatorics. His research brings together the fields of Unitary representation and Pure mathematics. His Planar algebra study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Algebra representation, Jordan algebra, Differential graded algebra, Subalgebra and Subfactor.

He focuses mostly in the field of Subfactor, narrowing it down to matters related to Series and, in some cases, Quantum. His research integrates issues of Von Neumann architecture, Group representation and Braid group in his study of Knot theory. Vaughan F. R. Jones has researched Combinatorics in several fields, including Division algebra and Group.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Random matrices, free probability, planar algebras and subfactors (73 citations)
  • Some unitary representations of Thompson’s groups $F$ and $T$ (48 citations)
  • A no-go theorem for the continuum limit of a periodic quantum spin chain (34 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Algebra
  • Pure mathematics
  • Mathematical analysis

Vaughan F. R. Jones mainly focuses on Planar algebra, Combinatorics, Group, Subfactor and Conformal field theory. Vaughan F. R. Jones combines subjects such as Subalgebra and Differential graded algebra with his study of Planar algebra. His Combinatorics study incorporates themes from Division algebra, Algebra representation, Jordan algebra, Cellular algebra and Filtered algebra.

His studies in Group integrate themes in fields like Topological quantum field theory, Polynomial and Series. Vaughan F. R. Jones works mostly in the field of Series, limiting it down to topics relating to Quantum and, in certain cases, Dimension, Scale and Transfer, as a part of the same area of interest. His Subfactor research entails a greater understanding of Pure mathematics.
