O'Nan moonshine and arithmetic

نویسندگان

چکیده

Answering a question posed by Conway and Norton in their seminal 1979 paper on moonshine, we prove the existence of graded infinite-dimensional module for sporadic simple group O'Nan, which McKay-Thompson series are weight $3/2$ modular forms. The coefficients these may be expressed terms class numbers, traces singular moduli, central critical values quadratic twists 2 $L$-functions. As consequence, primes $p$ dividing order O'Nan obtain congruences between character $p$-parts Selmer groups, Tate-Shafarevich groups certain elliptic curves. This work represents first example moonshine involving arithmetic invariants this type.

The Sin of Onan: contraception

"Onanism," the term derived from Genesis 38:9-10 which in traditional Christian usage has designated both masturbation and unnatural intercourse between a man and woman, is not exactly a pleasant theme to write about. And in a sense, that fact itself is the short answer to those who claim that these sorts of acts are ethically indifferent or innocent. In other words, the spontaneous negative em...

Rademacher sums, Moonshine and Gravity

In 1939 Rademacher demonstrated how to express Klein’s modular invariant as a sum over elements of the modular group. In this article we generalize Rademacher’s approach so as to construct bases for the spaces of automorphic integrals of arbitrary even integer weight, for an arbitrary group commensurable with the modular group. Our methods provide explicit expressions for the Fourier expansions...

Rational Generalised Moonshine from Abelian Orbifoldings of the Moonshine Module

We consider orbifoldings of the Moonshine Module with respect to the abelian group generated by a pair of commuting Monster group elements with one of prime order p = 2, 3, 5, 7 and the other of order pk for k = 1 or k prime. We show that constraints arising from meromorphic orbifold conformal field theory allow us to demonstrate that each orbifold partition function with rational coefficients ...

Problems in moonshine

The talk at the I.C.C.M. was an introduction to moonshine. As there are already several survey articles on what is known about moonshine ([B94], [B99], [D-M94], [DM96], [F-H98], [J]), this paper differs from the talk and will concentrate mainly on what we do not know about it. Moonshine is not a well defined term, but everyone in the area recognizes it when they see it. Roughly speaking, it mea...

Monstrous and Generalized Moonshine and Permutation Orbifolds

We consider the application of permutation orbifold constructions towards a new possible understanding of the genus zero property in Monstrous and Generalized Moonshine. We describe a theory of twisted Hecke operators in this setting and conjecture on the form of Generalized Moonshine replication formulas.
