For the moonshine module $V^{\natural},$ whose automorphism is the Monster ${\Bbb M},$ We show how to give a uniform existence proof for irreducible $g$-twisted modules for elements of type $2A,$ $2B$ and $4A$ in ${\Bbb M}.$ The most…
We investigate self-dual vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and super algebras (SVOAs). Using the genus one correlation functions, it is shown that self-dual SVOAs exist only for half-integral central charges. It is described how self-dual…
We use canonically-twisted modules for a certain super vertex operator algebra to construct the umbral moonshine module for the unique Niemeier lattice that coincides with its root sublattice. In particular, we give explicit expressions for…
We give a new construction of the moonshine VOA V^{\natural} over the real number field. We proved that V^{\natural} has a positive definite invariant bilinear form and its full automorphism group is the Monster simple group. We also…
We describe surprising relationships between automorphic forms of various kinds, imaginary quadratic number fields and a certain system of six finite groups that are parameterised naturally by the divisors of twelve. The Mathieu group…
We construct super vertex operator algebras which lead to modules for moonshine relations connecting the four smaller sporadic simple Mathieu groups with distinguished mock modular forms. Starting with an orbifold of a free fermion theory,…
We investigate a general theory of the Z_2-twisted representations of vertex operator superalgebras. Certain one-to-one correspondence theorems are established. We also give an explicit realization of the Ising model SVOA and its…
We discuss topological defect lines in holomorphic vertex operators algebras and superalgebras, in particular Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman Monster VOA $V^\natural$ with central charge $c=24$, and Conway module SVOA $V^{f\natural}$ with $c=12$.…
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…
The anomaly for the Monster group $\mathbb{M}$ acting on its natural (aka moonshine) representation $V^\natural$ is a particular cohomology class $\omega^\natural \in \mathrm{H}^3(\mathbb{M},\mathrm{U}(1))$ that arises as a conformal field…
We explore connections among Monstrous Moonshine, orbifolds, the Kitaev chain and topological modular forms. Symmetric orbifolds of the Monster CFT, together with further orbifolds by subgroups of Monster, are studied and found to satisfy…
We determine the space of 1-point correlation functions associated with the Moonshine module: they are precisely those modular forms of non-negative integral weight which are holomorphic in the upper half plane, have a pole of order at most…
We construct a model of moonshine phenomenon based on the use of N=2 superconformal algebra. We consider an extremal Jacobi form of weight 0 and index 2, and expand it in terms of N=2 massless and massive representations. We find the…
The vector-valued mock modular forms of umbral moonshine may be repackaged into meromorphic Jacobi forms of weight one. In this work we constructively solve two cases of the meromorphic module problem for umbral moonshine. Specifically, for…
This paper is a continuation of our paper math.QA/0403010 at which several coset subalgebras of the lattice VOA $V_{\sqrt{2}E_8}$ were constructed and the relationship between such algebras with the famous McKay observation on the extended…
We consider orbifoldings of the Moonshine Module with respect to the abelian group generated by a pair of commuting Monster group elements with one of prime order $p=2,3,5,7$ and the other of order $pk$ for $k=1$ or $k$ prime. We show that…
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 this paper, we study the residue codes of extremal Type II Z_4-codes of length 24 and their relations to the famous moonshine vertex operator algebra. The main result is a complete classification of all residue codes of extremal Type II…
In this article we prove that the full automorphism group of the baby-monster vertex operator superalgebra constructed by Hoehn is isomorphic to 2xB, where B is the baby-monster sporadic finite simple group and determine irreducible modules…
We study McKay's observation on the Monster simple group, which relates the 2A-involutions of the Monster simple group to the extended E_8 diagram, using the theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs). We first consider the sublattices L of…
