We present a systematic, rigorous construction of all 70 strongly rational, holomorphic vertex operator algebras $V$ of central charge 24 with non-zero weight-one space $V_1$ as cyclic orbifold constructions associated with the 24 Niemeier…

In this article, we study the moonshine vertex operator algebra starting with the tensor product of three copies of the vertex operator algebra $V_{\sqrt2E_8}^+$, and describe it by the quadratic space over $\F_2$ associated to…

The Umbral Moonshine Conjectures assert that there are infinite-dimensional graded modules, for prescribed finite groups, whose McKay-Thompson series are certain distinguished mock modular forms. Gannon has proved this for the special case…

Skew algebroid is a natural generalization of the concept of Lie algebroid. In this paper, for a skew algebroid E, its modular class mod(E) is defined in the classical as well as in the supergeometric formulation. It is proved that there is…

Let $\mathscr N$ be a two step nilpotent Lie algebra endowed with non-degenerate scalar product $\langle\cdot\,,\cdot\rangle$ and let $\mathscr N=V\oplus_{\perp}Z$, where $Z$ is the center of the Lie algebra and $V$ its orthogonal…

Umbral moonshine describes an unexpected relation between 23 finite groups arising from lattice symmetries and special mock modular forms. It includes the Mathieu moonshine as a special case and can itself be viewed as an example of the…

The Thompson sporadic group admits special relationships to modular forms of two kinds. On the one hand, last century's generalized moonshine for the monster equipped the Thompson group with a module for which the associated McKay-Thompson…

We describe a relationship between the representation theory of the Thompson sporadic group and a weakly holomorphic modular form of weight one-half that appears in work of Borcherds and Zagier on Borcherds products and traces of singular…

Let $L$ be an even (positive definite) lattice and $g\in O(L)$. In this article, we prove that the orbifold vertex operator algebra $V_{L}^{\hat{g}}$ has group-like fusion if and only if $g$ acts trivially on the discriminant group…

We continue our study of cyclic orbifolds of lattice vertex operator algebras and their full automorphism groups. We consider some special isometry $g\in O(L)$ such that $g^i$ is fixed point free on $L$ for any $1\leq i\leq |g|-1$. We show…

In this thesis we develop an orbifold theory for a finite, cyclic group $G$ acting on a suitably regular, holomorphic vertex operator algebra $V$. To this end we describe the fusion algebra of the fixed-point vertex operator subalgebra…

We propose a moonshine for the sporadic Mathieu group M_12 that relates its conjugacy classes to various modular forms and Borcherds Kac-Moody Lie superalgebras.

For a certain family of complete modular lattices, we prove a Jordan--H\"older--Scheier-like" theorem with no assumptions on cardinality or well-orderedness. This family includes both lattices which are both join- and meet-continuous, as…

We establish a connection between the representation theory of certain noncommutative singular varieties and two-dimensional lattice models. Specifically, we consider noncommutative biparametric deformations of the fiber product of two…

Using the theory of holes of the Leech lattice and Borcherds method for the computation of the automorphism group of a K3 surface, we give an effective bound for the set of isomorphism classes of projective models of fixed degree for…

We study the world-sheet conformal field theories for T-folds systematically based on the Lie algebra lattices representing the momenta of strings. The fixed point condition required for the T-duality twist restricts the possible Lie…

Huang, Lepowsky and Zhang have developed a module theory for vertex operator algebras that endows suitably chosen module categories with the structure of braided monoidal categories. Included in the theory is a functor which assigns to…

The theory of monstrous moonshine asserts that the coefficients of Hauptmoduln, including the $j$-function, coincide precisely with the graded characters of the monster module, an infinite-dimensional graded representation of the monster…

Using the geometry of the projective plane over the finite field F_q, we construct a Hermitian Lorentzian lattice L_q of dimension (q^2 + q + 2) defined over a certain number ring $\cO$ that depends on q. We show that infinitely many of…

We consider toroidal asymmetric orbifolds of the heterotic string preserving all 16 supercharges, developing a general formalism to study components of the moduli space characterized by rank reduction of the gauge group. In particular we…
