The fake monster Lie algebra is determined by the Borcherds function Phi_{12} which is the reflective modular form of the minimal possible weight with respect to O(II_{2,26}). We prove that the first non-zero Fourier-Jacobi coefficient of…
For non-abelian simple objects in a unitary modular category, the density of their braid group representations, the #P-hard evaluation of their associated link invariants, and the BQP-completeness of their anyonic quantum computing models…
By studying 2d string compactifications with half-maximal supersymmetry in a variety of duality frames, we find a natural physical setting for understanding Umbral moonshine. Near points in moduli space with enhanced gauge symmetry, we find…
We consider the application of permutation orbifold constructions towards a new possible understanding of the genus zero property in Monstrous and Generalized Moonshine. We describe a theory of twisted Hecke operators in this setting and…
The elliptic modular j function enjoys many beautiful properties. Its Fourier coefficients are related to the Monster group, and its CM values generate abelian extensions over imaginary quadratic fields. Kaneko gave an arithmetic formula…
We construct a new cohomology functor from the a certain category of {\it quantum operator algebras} to the category of {\it Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras}. This {\it Moonshine cohomology} has, as a group of natural automorphisms, the…
The twisted elliptic genera of a $K3$ surface associated with the conjugacy classes of the Mathieu group $M_{24}$ are known to be weak Jacobi forms of weight $0$. In 2010, Cheng constructed formal infinite products from the twisted elliptic…
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…
Motivated by a conjecture of Lian and Yau concerning the mirror map in string theory, we determine when the mirror map q-series of certain elliptic curve and K3 surface families are Hauptmoduln (genus zero modular functions). Our geometric…
The denominator formula for the Monster Lie algebra is the product expansion for the modular function $j(z)-j(\tau)$ in terms of the Hecke system of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$-modular functions $j_n(\tau)$. This formula can be…
It is shown that the automorphism group of the shorter Moonshine module constructed in my Ph.D. thesis (also called Baby Monster vertex operator superalgebra) is the direct product of the finite simple group known as the Baby Monster and…
In earlier work, the first named author generalized the construction of Darmon-style $\mathcal{L}$-invariants to cuspidal automorphic representations of semisimple groups of higher rank, which are cohomological with respect to the trivial…
It is well-known that Klein's lectures on the icosahedron and the solution of equations of fifth degree is one of the most important and influential books of 19th-century mathematics. In the present paper, we will give the complex…
In 1975 Ogg offered a bottle of Jack Daniels for an explanation of the fact that the prime divisors of the order of the monster are the primes p for which the characteristic p supersingular j-invariants are all defined over the field with p…
We consider double scaled little string theory on $K3$. These theories are labelled by a positive integer $k \ge 2$ and an $ADE$ root lattice with Coxeter number $k$. We count BPS fundamental string states in the holographic dual of this…
We introduce the notion of vertex operator superalgebra with enhanced conformal structure, which is a refinement of the notion of vertex operator superalgebra. We exhibit several examples, including a particular one which is self-dual, and…
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…
For a $k$-algebra $A$, a quiver $Q$, and an ideal $I$ of $kQ$ generated by monomial relations, let $\Lambda: = A\otimes_k kQ/I$. We introduce the monic representations of $(Q, I)$ over $A$. We give properties of the structural maps of monic…
We develop a unified representation theory for the categories of finite subsets and relation-preserving maps of highly homogeneous relational structures classified by Cameron. For any commutative coefficient ring $k$, we extend the…
In this note, we provide evidence for new (super) moonshines relating the Monster and the Baby monster to some weakly holomorphic weight 1/2 modular forms defined by Zagier in his work on traces of singular moduli. They are similar in…
