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the theory of the Monster group, which remains largely unpublished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. Through construction via the Monster amalgam - one of the
most promising in the modern theory of finite groups - the author
observes some important properties of the action of the Monster on
its minimal module, which are axiomatized under the name of
Majorana involutions. Development of the theory of the groups
generated by Majorana involutions leads the author to the
conjecture that Monster is the largest group generated by the
Majorana involutions.
