Based on a generalized Newton's identity, we construct a family of symmetric functions which deform the modular Hall-Littlewood functions. We also give a determinant formula for the Macdonald functions.
Monstrous moonshine relates the representation of the Monster finite sporadic simple group to the distinguished modular functions, called Hauptmoduln. Chen-Yui~\cite{Chen-Yui} showed that the CM values of Hauptmoduln which appeare in…
In this paper we prove the existence of an infinite dimensional graded super-module for the finite sporadic Thompson group $Th$ whose McKay-Thompson series are weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $\frac 12$ satisfying properties…
Monstrous moonshine relates distinguished modular functions to the representation theory of the monster. The celebrated observations that 196884=1+196883 and 21493760=1+196883+21296876, etc., illustrate the case of the modular function…
Using predictions in mirror symmetry, C\u{a}ld\u{a}raru, He, and Huang recently formulated a "Moonshine Conjecture at Landau-Ginzburg points" for Klein's modular $j$-function at $j=0$ and $j=1728.$ The conjecture asserts that the…
Generalized Halphen systems are solved in terms of functions that uniformize genus zero Riemann surfaces, with automorphism groups that are commensurable with the modular group. Rational maps relating these functions imply subgroup…
This article generalises to K\"ahler orbifolds general results on uniformisation of compact K\"ahler manifolds such as the Shafarevich conjecture for linear fundamental groups.
In this paper, we investigate the extent to which the Bump-Hoffstein conjecture could be generalized for central coverings of general linear groups. We provide evidence for such generalized Bump-Hoffstein conjecture by proving some special…
A conjecture of Mumford predicts a complete set of relations between the generators of the cohomology ring of the moduli space of rank 2 semi-stable sheaves with fixed odd degree determinant on a smooth, projective curve of genus at least…
In this paper we relate umbral moonshine to the Niemeier lattices: the 23 even unimodular positive-definite lattices of rank 24 with non-trivial root systems. To each Niemeier lattice we attach a finite group by considering a naturally…
We study aspects of the theory of generalized Kac-Moody Lie algebras (or Borcherds algebras) and their standard modules. It is shown how such an algebra with no mutually orthogonal imaginary simple roots, including Borcherds' Monster Lie…
In a recent paper, M. Green and P. Griffiths used R. Thomas' works on nodal hypersurfaces to establish the equivalence of the Hodge conjecture and the existence of certain singular admissible normal functions. Inspired by their work, we…
In this note we sketch a proof of a fundamental conjecture, the codimension-three conjecture, for microdifferential holonomic systems with regular singularities. It states that any regular holonomic E-module extends beyond a…
In 1978, John McKay made an intriguing observation: 196884=196883+1. Monstrous Moonshine is the collection of questions (and a few answers) inspired by this observation. Like moonlight itself, Moonshine is an indirect phenomenon. Just as in…
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…
To a set $\mathcal{B}$ of 4-subsets of a set $\Omega$ of size $n$ we introduce an invariant called the `hole stabilizer' which generalises a construction of Conway, Elkies and Martin of the Mathieu group $M_{12}$ based on Loyd's…
It is known that a bi-orderable group has no generalized torsion element, but the converse does not hold in general. We conjecture that the converse holds for the fundamental groups of 3-manifolds, and verify the conjecture for…
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.…
Answering a question posed by Conway and Norton in their seminal 1979 paper on moonshine, we prove the existence of a graded infinite-dimensional module for the sporadic simple group of O'Nan, for which the McKay--Thompson series are weight…
Let $\varphi\colon\Gamma\to G$ be a homomorphism of groups. We consider factorizations $\Gamma\xrightarrow{f} M\xrightarrow{g} G$ of $\varphi$ such that either $g$ or $f$ are universal normal maps (namely, crossed modules). These two…
