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…

For certain subgroups of $M_{24}$, we give vertex operator algebraic module constructions whose associated trace functions are meromorphic Jacobi forms. These meromorphic Jacobi forms are canonically associated to the mock modular forms of…

Twenty-five years ago, Conway and Norton published their remarkable paper `Monstrous Moonshine', proposing a completely unexpected relationship between finite simple groups and modular functions. This paper reviews the progress made in…

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…

The pattern of duality symmetries acting on the states of compactified superstring models reinforces an earlier suggestion that the Monster sporadic group is a hidden symmetry for superstring models. This in turn points to a supersymmetric…

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…

We present new algorithms to classify all string C-group representations of a given group $G$. We use these algorithms to classify all string C-group representations of the sporadic groups of Suzuki and Rudvalis.

The word moonshine refers to unexpected relations between the two distinct mathematical structures: finite group representations and modular objects. It is believed that the key to understanding moonshine is through physical theories with…

We consider a class of monotone operators which are appropriate for symbolic representation and manipulation within a computer algebra system. Various structural properties of the class (e.g., closure under taking inverses, resolvents) are…

The goal of this paper is to construct infinite dimensional Lie algebras using infinite product identities, and to use these Lie algebras to reduce the generalized moonshine conjecture to a pair of hypotheses about group actions on vertex…

We continue the study of a relationship between the instanton expansion of the Seiberg-Witten (SW) prepotential of $D = 4$, ${\cal N }= 2$ $SU(2)$ SUSY gauge theory and the monstrous moonshine. Extending the previous results, we show for…

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 shadow V' of a self-dual vertex operator superalgebra V is defined as the direct sum of the irreducible modules of its even vertex operator subalgebra $V_{(0)}$ not contained in $V=V_{(0)}+V_{(1)}$. We describe the self-dual ``very…

The Monster Lie algebra $\mathfrak m$ is a quotient of the physical space of the vertex algebra $V=V^\natural\otimes V_{1,1}$, where $V^\natural$ is the Moonshine module vertex operator algebra of Frenkel, Lepowsky, and Meurman, and…

We give a new, simpler proof that the canonical actions of finite groups on Fricke-type Monstrous Lie algebras yield genus zero functions in Generalized Monstrous Moonshine, using a Borcherds-Kac-Moody Lie algebra decomposition due to…

In 1939 Rademacher derived a conditionally convergent series expression for the elliptic modular invariant, and used this expression- the first Rademacher sum - to verify its modular invariance. By generalizing Rademacher's approach we…

MaxDim, along with it relatives m and i, are group invariants analogous to the concept of dimension in vector spaces. In this paper we give the following result on the MaxDim of sporadic groups: 1. An inductive argument for the lower bounds…

A generalization of the Macdonald polynomials depending upon both commuting and anticommuting variables has been introduced recently. The construction relies on certain orthogonality and triangularity relations. Although many…

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 show interesting relations between extremal partition functions of a family of conformal field theories and dimensions of the irreducible representations of the Fischer-Griess Monster sporadic group. We argue that these relations can be…
