Monstrous Moonshine and Monstrous Lie Superalgebras

Invent. Math. 109, 405-444 (1992). Richard E. Borcherds, Department of pure mathematics and mathematical statistics, 16 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1SB, England. We prove Conway and Norton’s moonshine conjectures for the infinite dimensional representation of the monster simple group constructed by Frenkel, Lepowsky and Meurman. To do this we use the no-ghost theorem from string theory to construc...

A Monstrous Proposal

We explain a conjecture relating the monster simple group to an algebraic variety that was discovered in a non-

Monstrous Heterotic Quantum Mechanics

A compactification of the heterotic string is considered which describes a particle propa-excited states whose dynamics is 1 + 1 dimensional. The model appears to describe D-particle dynamics in type IIA string theory on M.

Monstrous Moonshine of higher weight

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 1 at infinity, and whose Fourier expansion has constant 0. There are Monsterequivariant analogues in which one naturally associates to each element g in the...
