Abstract
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 groups. These 27 groups coincide with the subgroups of the Monster that are generated by three
{2A}
-involutions a, b and c such that ab is also a
{2A}
-involution, which were classified by S. P. Norton in 1985. Our work relies on that of S. Decelle and consists of showing that certain groups do not admit Majorana representations.
