An expansion algorithm for constructing axial algebras
Abstract
An axial algebra is a commutative non-associative algebra generated by primitive idempotents, called axes, whose adjoint action on is semisimple and multiplication of eigenvectors is controlled by a certain fusion law. Different fusion laws define different classes of axial algebras. Axial algebras are inherently related to groups. Namely, when the fusion law is graded by an abelian group , every axis leads to a subgroup of automorphisms of . The group generated by all is called the Miyamoto group of the algebra. We describe a new algorithm for constructing axial algebras with a given Miyamoto group. A key feature of the algorithm is the expansion step, which allows us to overcome the -closeness restriction of Seress's algorithm computing Majorana algebras. At the end we provide a list of examples for the Monster fusion law, computed using a MAGMA implementation of our algorithm.
