We introduce a generalization of Brauer character to allow arbitrary finite length modules over discrete valuation rings. We show that the generalized super Brauer character of Tate cohomology is a linear combination of trace functions.…

In this paper we address the following two closely related questions. First, we complete the classification of finite symmetry groups of type IIA string theory on $K3\times \mathbb R^6$, where Niemeier lattices play an important role. This…

Eguchi, Ooguri, and Tachikawa recently conjectured a new moonshine phenomenon. They conjecture that the coefficients of a certain mock modular form H(tau), which arises from the K3 surface elliptic genus, are sums of dimensions of…

Recent developments in the study of the moonshine phenomenon, including umbral and Conway moonshine, suggest that it may play an important role in encoding the action of finite symmetry groups on the BPS spectrum of K3 string theory. To…

This article is a short and elementary introduction to the monstrous moonshine aiming to be as accessible as possible. I first review the classification of finite simple groups out of which the monster naturally arises, and features of the…

We precisely determined an $\bN$-graded structure of Zhu's poisson algebra $V/C_2(V)$ of vertex operator algebras $V$ of moonshine type. Namely, if $V$ is a vertex operator algebra of moonshine type with a central charge $24$, then…

We show using string dualities that Mathieu moonshine controls Gromov-Witten invariants and periods of the holomorphic 3-form $\Omega$ for certain $CY_3$ manifolds. We also discuss how the period vectors appear in flux compactifications on…

A maximal subgroup of the Mathieu group M24 arises as the combined holomorphic symplectic automorphism group of all Kummer surfaces whose Kaehler class is induced from the underlying complex torus. As a subgroup of M24, this group is the…

We use the unique canonically-twisted module over a certain distinguished super vertex operator algebra---the moonshine module for Conway's group---to attach a weak Jacobi form of weight zero and index one to any symplectic derived…

We study the relative modular classes of Lie algebroids, and we determine their relationship with the modular classes of Lie algebroids with a twisted Poisson structure.

In this paper, we give decompositions of the moonshine module $V^{\natural}$ with respect to subVOAs associated to extremal Type II codes over $Z_{2k}$ for an integer $k\ge2$. Those subVOAs are isomorphic to the tensor product of 24 copies…

We consider the relationship between the conjectured uniqueness of the Moonshine Module, ${\cal V}^\natural$, and Monstrous Moonshine, the genus zero property of the modular invariance group for each Monster group Thompson series. We first…

Some years ago, Borcherds described in [Bo1] two methods for constructing modular forms on modular varieties related to the orthogonal group ${\O}(2,n)$. They are the so called Borcherds' additive and multiplicative lifting. The…

We review the relationship between the largest Mathieu group and various modular objects, including recent progress on the relation to mock modular forms. We also review the connections between these mathematical structures and string…

Mathieu Moonshine, the observation that the Fourier coefficients of the elliptic genus on K3 can be interpreted as dimensions of representations of the Mathieu group M24, has been proven abstractly, but a conceptual understanding in terms…

The square-root of Siegel modular forms of CHL Z_N orbifolds of type II compactifications are denominator formulae for some Borcherds-Kac-Moody Lie superalgebras for N=1,2,3,4. We study the decomposition of these Siegel modular forms in…

We verify the Generalised Moonshine conjectures for some irrational modular functions for the Monster centralisers related to the Harada-Norton, Held, $M_{12}$ and $L_3(3)$ simple groups based on certain orbifolding constraints. We find…

We consider the Zassenhaus conjecture for the normalized unit group of the integral group ring of the Mathieu sporadic group $M_{24}$. As a consequence, for this group we confirm Kimmerle's conjecture on prime graphs.

We study a construction of the Mathieu group $M_{12}$ using a game reminiscent of Loyd's ``15-puzzle''. The elements of $M_{12}$ are realized as permutations on~12 of the~13 points of the finite projective plane of order~3. There is a…

We prove that a certain space of cusp forms for the Hecke congruence group of a given level is one-dimensional if and only if that level is the order of an element of the second largest Mathieu group. As such, our result furnishes a direct…
