Ghosts of Leigh: scripting the monstrous effeminate

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...

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.

Exploring the Ostensibly Subversive Nature of the Effeminate Gay Male

A Monstrous Proposal

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

Monstrous Moonshine and the Classification of CFT

In these notes we give an introduction both to Monstrous Moonshine and to the classification of rational conformal field theories, using this as an excuse to explore several related structures and go on a little tour of modern math. We will discuss Lie algebras, modular functions, the finite simple group classification, vertex operator algebras, Fermat's Last Theorem, category theory, (generali...
