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…
We consider Majorana algebras generated by three Majorana axes $a_0$, $a_1$ and $a_2$ such that $a_0$ and $a_1$ generate a dihedral algebra of type 2A. We show that such an algebra must occur as a Majorana representation of one of 27…
Majorana theory was introduced by A. A. Ivanov as an axiomatic framework in which to study objects related to the Monster simple group and the Griess algebra. Since its inception, it has been used to construct a number of new and important…
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…
A Majorana algebra is a commutative nonassociative real algebra generated by a finite set of idempotents, called Majorana axes, that satisfy some of the properties of the $2A$-axes of the Monster Griess algebra. The term was introduced by…
We use Majorana representations to study the subalgebras of the Griess algebra that have shape $(2B,3A,5A)$ and whose associated Miyamoto groups are isomorphic to $A_n$. We prove that these subalgebras exist only if $n\in \{5,6,8\}$. The…
Axial algebras are non-associative algebras generated by semisimple idempotents, known as axes, that all obey a fusion rule. Axial algebras were introduced by Hall, Rehren and Shpectorov as a generalisation of the axioms of Majorana theory,…
Axial algebras of Monster type are a class of non-associative algebras which generalise the Griess algebra, whose automorphism group is the largest sporadic simple group, the Monster. The $2$-generated algebras, which are the building…
We show interesting relations between extremal partition functions of a family of conformal field theories and dimensions of the irreducible representations of the Fischer-Griess Monster sporadic group. We argue that these relations can be…
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 study McKay's observation on the Monster simple group, which relates the 2A-involutions of the Monster simple group to the extended E_8 diagram, using the theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs). We first consider the sublattices L of…
Ivanov introduced the shape of a Majorana algebra as a record of the $2$-generated subalgebras arising in that algebra. As a broad generalisation of this concept and to free it from the ambient algebra, we introduce the concept of an axet…
In this paper, we discuss 3-transposition groups. In particular, we find sizes of maximal symmetric subgroups of the groups, which are in Fischer list. In addition, we build faithful representations of symmetric groups in orthogonal,…
In this paper we study unitary braid group representations associated with Majorana Fermions. Majorana Fermions are represented by Majorana operators, elements of a Clifford algebra. The paper recalls and proves a general result about braid…
In the first section of this senior thesis the author provides some new efficient algorithms for calculating with finite permutation groups. They cannot be found in the computer algebra system MAGMA, but they can be implemented there. For…
The conjugacy classes of the Monster which occur in the McKay observation correspond to the isomorphism types of certain 2-generated subalgebras of the Griess algebra. Sakuma, Ivanov and others showed that these subalgebras match the…
We determine the order of the largest of the twenty-six sporadic simple groups known as the Monster, using a straightforward computational approach. The Monster is here defined as a subgroup of the symmetry group of the 196884-dimensional…
Axial algebras of Monster type are a class of commutative algebras generated by special idempotents called axes. Some motivating examples of these algebras are the Griess algebra and the Norton-Sakuma algebras, relating to the Monster…
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…
A conjecture of Marton, widely known as the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture, was recently proved by Gowers, Green, Manners and Tao for any bounded-torsion Abelian group $G$. In this paper we show a few simple modifications that improve…
