We provide the basic setup for the project, initiated by Felix Rehren, aiming at classifying all 2-generated axial algebras of Monster type $(\alpha,\beta)$ over a field $\mathbb F$. Using this, we first show that every such algebra has…

It is a classical problem to compute a minimal set of invariant polynomial generating the invariant ring of a finite group as an algebra. We present here an algorithm for the computation of minimal generating sets in the non-modular case.…

Let $\mathfrak{M}_n$ be the multiplicative monoid of $n \times n$ matrices over a finite field. The monoid algebra $\mathbf{C}[\mathfrak{M}_n]$ has been studied for several decades. One of the important early results is Kov\'acs' theorem…

We construct a self-dual integral form of the moonshine vertex operator algebra, and show that it has symmetries given by the Fischer-Griess monster simple group. The existence of this form resolves the last remaining open assumption in the…

Let E be a division ring and G a finite group of automorphisms of E whose elements are distinct modulo inner automorphisms of E. Given a representation \rho: B-> GL(d,E) of an F-algebra B, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…

A Hadamard matrix $H$ of order $n$ is a square matrix with entries $\pm 1$ satisfying $HH^T = nI_n$, where $I_n$ is the identity matrix of order $n$. A circulant Hadamard matrix is a Hadamard matrix whose rows are cyclic shifts of one…

A proper subsemigroup of a semigroup is maximal if it is not contained in any other proper subsemigroup. A maximal subsemigroup of a finite semigroup has one of a small number of forms, as described in a paper of Graham, Graham, and Rhodes.…

In $26+1$ space-time dimensions, we introduce a gravity theory whose massless spectrum can be acted upon by the Monster group when reduced to $25+1$ dimensions. This theory generalizes M-theory in many respects and we name it Monstrous…

A zero-one matrix is a matrix with entries from $\{0, 1\}$. We study monoids containing only such matrices. A finite set of zero-one matrices generating such a monoid can be seen as the matrix representation of an unambiguous finite…

Spin-space groups (SSGs), including the traditional space groups (SGs) and magnetic space groups (MSGs) as subsets, describe the complete symmetries of magnetic materials with weak spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In the present work, we…

Let G be a split, simple, simply connected, algebraic group over Q. The degree 4, weight 2 motivic cohomology group of the classifying space BG of G is identified with Z. We construct cocycles representing the generator of this group, known…

The group algebra of the permutation group is spanned by a set of elements called projectors. The coordinates of permutations expanded in projectors are matrix elements of irreducible representations. The projectors of the permutation group…

This paper presents an algorithmic method for generating random orthogonal matrices \(A\) that satisfy the property \(A^t S A = S\), where \(S\) is a fixed real invertible symmetric or skew-symmetric matrix. This method is significant as it…

We construct a resolution of irreducible complex representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ by restrictions of representations of $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ (where $S_n$ is the subgroup of permutation matrices). This categorifies a recent result…

In this work we employ machine learning to understand structured mathematical data involving finite groups and derive a theorem about necessary properties of generators of finite simple groups. We create a database of all 2-generated…

Axial algebras are a class of commutative non-associative algebras generated by idempotents, called axes, with adjoint action semi-simple and satisfying a prescribed fusion law. Axial algebras were introduced by Hall, Rehren and Shpectorov…

We use uniqueness of a VOA (vertex operator algebra) extension of $(V_{EE_8}^+)^3$ to a Moonshine type VOA to give a new existence proof of a finite simple group of Monster type. The proof is relatively direct. Our methods depend on VOA…

In this work, we present an algorithmic treatment of the representation theory of the algebra of partially transposed permutation operators, denoted by $\mathcal{A}^d_{p,p}$, which is a matrix representation of the abstract walled Brauer…

Majorana theory was introduced by A. A. Ivanov as the axiomatization of certain properties of the 2A-axes of the Griess algebra. Since its inception, Majorana theory has proved to be a remarkable tool with which to study objects related to…

Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…
