We construct a self-dual integral form of the moonshine vertex operator algebra, and show that it has symmetries given by the Fischer-Griess monster simple group. The existence of this form resolves the last remaining open assumption in the…
Let $\mathbb{M}$ be the monster group which is the largest sporadic finite simple group, and has first been constructed in 1982 by Griess. In 1985, Conway has constructed a 196884-dimensional representation $\rho$ of $\mathbb{M}$ with…
In this article, we study Griess algebras and vertex operator subalgebras generated by Ising vectors in a moonshine type VOA such that the subgroup generated by the corresponding Miyamoto involutions has the shape $3^2{:}2$ and any two…
In this article we construct an irreducible simple subgroup G = <q, y, t, w> of GL_{8671}(13) from an irreducible subgroup T of GL_{11}(2) isomorphic to Mathieu's simple group M_{24} by means of Algorithm 2.5 of [13]. We also use the first…
Recently it has been suggested by A. M. Tsvelik that quantum S=1/2 antiferromagnet can be described by the Majorana fermions in an irreducible way and without any constraint. In contrast to this claim we shall show that this representation…
We present families of pairs of finite von Neumann algebras $A\subset M$ where $A$ is a maximal injective masa in the type $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor $M$ with separable predual. Our results make use of the strong mixing and the asymptotic…
We introduce axial representations and modules over axial algebras as new tools to study axial algebras. All known interesting examples of axial algebras fall into this setting, in particular the Griess algebra whose automorphism group is…
Let $\mathbb{M}$ be the Monster group, which is the largest sporadic finite simple group, and has first been constructed in 1982 by Griess. In 1985 Conway has constructed a 196884-dimensional rational epresentation $\rho$ of $\mathbb{M}$…
The Gelfand representation of $\mathcal{S}_n$ is the multiplicity-free direct sum of the irreducible representations of $\mathcal{S}_n$. In this paper, we use a result of Adin, Postnikov, and Roichman to find a recursive generating function…
We discuss some categorical aspects of the objects that appear in the construction of the Monster and other sporadic simple groups. We define the basic representation of the categorical torus $\mathcal T$ classified by an even symmetric…
We present a classification of bilinear Majorana representations for spin-$S$ operators, based on the real irreducible matrix representations of SU(2). We identify two types of such representations: While the first type can be…
We introduce the Z_2-extended Griess algebra of a vertex operator superalgebra with an involution and derive the Matsuo-Norton trace formulae for the extended Griess algebra based on conformal design structure. We illustrate an application…
By the geometric Satake isomorphism of Mirkovic and Vilonen, decomposition numbers for reductive groups can be interpreted as decomposition numbers for equivariant perverse sheaves on the complex affine Grassmannian of the Langlands dual…
The Drinfel'd double D(A) of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra A is a Hopf algebraic counterpart of the monoidal center construction. Majid introduced an important representation of the Drinfel'd double, which he called the Schr\"odinger…
One would like an explanation of the provocative McKay and Glauberman-Norton observations connecting the extended $E_8$-diagram with pairs of 2A involutions in the Monster sporadic simple group. We propose a down-to-earth model for the…
E7 part: In this paper, we study McKay's E7 observation on the Baby Monster. By investigating so called derived c=7/10 Virasoro vectors, we show that there is a natural correspondence between dihedral subgroups of the Baby Monster and…
In $26+1$ space-time dimensions, we introduce a gravity theory whose massless spectrum can be acted upon by the Monster group when reduced to $25+1$ dimensions. This theory generalizes M-theory in many respects and we name it Monstrous…
We show that the normalized supercharacters of principal admissible modules over the affine Lie superalgebra $\hat{s\ell}_{2|1}$ (resp. $\hat{ps\ell}_{2|2}$) can be modified, using Zwegers' real analytic corrections, to form a modular…
A class of axial decomposition algebras with Miyamoto group generated by two Miyamoto automorphisms and three eigenvalues $0,1$ and $\eta$ is introduced and classified in the case with $\eta\notin\{0,1,\frac{1}{2}\}$. This class includes…
We exploit various inclusions of algebraic groups to give a new construction of groups of type E8, determine the Killing forms of the resulting E8's, and define an invariant of central simple algebras of degree 16 with orthogonal involution…
