Abstract

We consider Majorana algebras generated by three Majorana axes a0a_0, a1a_1 and a2a_2 such that a0a_0 and a1a_1 generate a dihedral algebra of type 2A. We show that such an algebra must occur as a Majorana representation of one of 27 groups. These 27 groups coincide with the subgroups of the Monster which are generated by three 2A-involutions aa, bb and cc such that abab is also a 2A-involution, which were classified by S. P. Norton in 1985. Our work relies on that of S. Decelle and consists of showing that certain groups do not admit Majorana representations.
