Abstract

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 and shapes on an axet. A shape can be viewed as an algebra version of a group amalgam. Just like an amalgam, a shape leads to a unique algebra completion which may be non-trivial or it may collapse. Then for a natural family of shapes of generalised Monster type we classify all completion algebras and discover that a great majority of them collapse, confirming the observations made in an earlier paper.

Bibliographical note

In this version we have updated the sections on axets and shapes. We have changed language from isogenies to the more categorical language of morphisms, which has simplified the exposition. We have also updated Subsection 7.4 on quotients of the Highwater algebra, following the new notation in the preprint of Franchi, Mainardis and McInroy. 47 pages
