Group Theory
2022-03-17 v1
Abstract
Majorana theory is an axiomatic tool introduced by A. A. Ivanov in 2009 for studying the Monster group M and its subgroups through the 196884-dimensional Conway-Griess-Norton algebra. The group U3(5) is the socle of the centralizer in M of a subgroup of order 25. The involutions of this U3(5)-subgroup are 2A-involutions in the Monster. Therefore, U3(5) possesses a Majorana representation based on the embedding in the Monster. We prove that this is the unique Majorana representation of U3(5), and calculate its dimension, which is 798.
