Abstract: An axial algebra $A$ is a commutative non-associative algebra generated by primitive idempotents, called axes, whose adjoint action on $A$ 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 $T$, every axis $a$ leads to a subgroup of automorphisms $T_a$ of $A$. The group generated by all $T_a$ 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 $2$-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.

Review text

This paper studies the construction of axial algebras. When the fusion law is graded by an abelian group \(T\), every axis a leads to a subgroup of automorphisms \(T_a\) of \(A\). The group generated by all \(T_a\) is called the Miyamoto group of the algebra. The authors describe a new algorithm for constructing axial algebras with a given Miyamoto group. They overcome the \(2\)-closedness restriction of Seress' algorithm computing Majorana algebras.
