Abstract: Matsuo algebras are an algebraic incarnation of 3-transposition groups with a parameter $alpha$, where idempotents takes the role of the transpositions. We show that a large class of idempotents in Matsuo algebras satisfy the Seress property, making these nonassociative algebras well-behaved analogously to associative algebras, Jordan algebras and vertex (operator) algebras. We calculate eigenvalues in the Matsuo algebra of $mSym(n)$ for any $alpha$, generalising some vertex algebra results for which $alpha=frac14$. Finally, in the Matsuo algebra of the root system ${mD}_n$, we show $n-3$ conjugacy classes of involutions coming from the Weyl group are in natural bijection with idempotents in the algebra via their fusion rules.
