Abstract: Axial algebras are a class of non-associative algebra with a strong link to finite (especially simple) groups which have recently received much attention. Of primary interest are the axial algebras of Monster type $$, of which the Griess algebra (with the Monster as its automorphism group) is an important motivating example. In this paper, we complete the classification of the symmetric $2$-generated primitive axial algebras of Monster type $$. By previous work of Yabe, and Franchi and Mainardis, any such algebra is either explicitly known, or is a quotient of the infinite-dimensional Highwater algebra $mathcalH$, or its characteristic $5$ cover $hatmathcalH$. In this paper, we classify the ideals of $mathcalH$ and $hatmathcalH$ and thus their quotients. Moreover, we give explicit bases for the ideals. In fact, we proceed in a unified way, by defining a cover $hatmathcalH$ of $mathcalH$ in all characteristics and classifying its ideals. Our new algebra $hatmathcalH$ has a previously unseen fusion law and provides an insight into why the Highwater algebra has a cover which is of Monster type only in characteristic $5$.
