The Monster Group and Majorana Involutions by A A Ivanov
This is the first book to contain a rigorous construction and uniqueness proof for the largest and most famous sporadic simple group, the Monster. The author provides a systematic exposition of the theory of the Monster group, which remains largely unpublished despite great interest from both mathematicians and physicists due to its intrinsic connection with various areas in mathematics, including reflection groups, modular forms and conformal field theory.
'This book contains the basic knowledge on the Monster group in a very accessible waysome results are published in this book for the first time. Many are not even easily found in literature. Hence the book is a very good source for any group theorist who is interested in sporadic simple groups.' Zentralblatt MATH
A. A. Ivanov is a Professor in the Mathematical Department at Imperial College, London and the Institute of System Analysis at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow.
