A Monster Lie Algebra ?

We define a remarkable Lie algebra of infinite dimension, and conjecture that it may be related to the Fischer-Griess Monster group. The idea was mooted in [C-N] that there might be an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra (or superalgebra) L that in some sense “explains” the Fischer-Griess ‘Monster” group M . In this chapter we produce some candidates for L based on properties of the Leech lattice ...
