We classify the self-dual (or holomorphic) vertex operator superalgebras of central charge 24, or in physics parlance the purely left-moving, fermionic 2-dimensional conformal field theories with just one primary field. There are exactly…

We determine the automorphism groups of the cyclic orbifold vertex operator algebras associated with coinvariant lattices of isometries of the Leech lattice in the conjugacy classes $4C,6E,6G,8E$ and $10F$. As a consequence, we have…

We describe the automorphism groups of all holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge $24$ with non-trivial weight one Lie algebras by using their constructions as simple current extensions. We also confirm a conjecture of G.…

We determine the automorphism groups of the orbifold vertex operator algebras associated with the coinvariant lattices of isometries of the Leech lattice in the conjugacy classes 3C, 5C, 11A and 23A. These orbifold vertex operator algebras…

We study the fixed point subalgebra of a certain class of lattice vertex operator algebras by an automorphism of order 3, which is a lift of a fixed-point-free isometry of the underlying lattice. We classify the irreducible modules for the…

In this article, we study the automorphism group of the cyclic orbifold of a vertex operator algebra associated with a rootless even lattice for a lift of a fixed-point free isometry of odd prime order $p$. We prove that such a cyclic…

It is shown that the supersymmetry-preserving automorphisms of any non-linear sigma-model on K3 generate a subgroup of the Conway group Co_1. This is the stringy generalisation of the classical theorem, due to Mukai and Kondo, showing that…

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…

In this article, we determine the automorphism groups of $14$ holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge $24$ obtained by applying the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-orbifold construction to the Niemeier lattice vertex operator algebras and…

Odd, positive-definite, integral, unimodular lattices N of rank 24 were classified by Borcherds. There are 273 isometry classes of such lattices. Associated to them are vertex superalgebras $V_N$ of central charge c=24. We show that at…

We provide a rigorous mathematical foundation to the study of strongly rational, holomorphic vertex operator algebras V of central charge c = 8, 16 and 24 initiated by Schellekens. If c = 8 or 16 we show that V is isomorphic to a lattice…

We provide a method, based on Nikulin's lattice gluing techniques, which identifies the symplectic automorphisms of Kummer surfaces as permutation groups on 24 elements preserving the Golay code. In other words, we explicitly realise these…

In this article, we study orbifold constructions associated with the Leech lattice vertex operator algebra. As an application, we prove that the structure of a strongly regular holomorphic vertex operator algebra of central charge $24$ is…

In the first three sections, we develop some basic facts about hypergeometric sheaves on the multiplicative group ${\mathbb G}_m$ in characteristic $p >0$. In the fourth and fifth sections, we specialize to quite special classses of…

Special conformal field theories can have symmetry groups which are interesting sporadic finite simple groups. Famous examples include the Monster symmetry group of a $c=24$ two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) constructed by…

The automorphism group of the Barnes-Wall lattice L_m in dimension 2^m (m not 3) is a subgroup of index 2 in a certain ``Clifford group'' C_m (an extraspecial group of order 2^(1+2m) extended by an orthogonal group). This group and its…

In view of a potential interpretation of the role of the Mathieu group M_24 in the context of strings compactified on K3 surfaces, we develop techniques to combine groups of symmetries from different K3 surfaces to larger 'overarching'…

We determine the possible finite groups $G$ of symplectic automorphisms of hyperk\"ahler manifolds which are deformation equivalent to the second Hilbert scheme of a K3 surface. We prove that $G$ has such an action if, and only if, it is…

We exhibit an action of Conway's group---the automorphism group of the Leech lattice---on a distinguished super vertex operator algebra, and we prove that the associated graded trace functions are normalized principal moduli, all having…

The automorphism group of the vertex operator algebra $V_L^+$ is studied by using its action on isomorphism classes of irreducible $V_L^+$-modules. In particular, the shape of the automorphism group of $V_L^+$ is determined when $L$ is…
