2A-orbifold construction and the baby-monster vertex operator superalgebra

In this article we prove that the full automorphism group of the baby-monster vertex operator superalgebra constructed by Höhn is isomorphic to 2×B, where B is the baby-monster sporadic finite simple group, and determine irreducible modules for the baby-monster vertex operator algebra. Our result has many corollaries. In particular, we can prove that the Z2-orbifold construction with respect to...

The “monster” Study

The diagnosogenic (semantogenic) theory for the onset of stuttering was initially proposed by Wendell Johnson in the early 1940s. It suggested that calling attention to a child’s normal hesitations (repetitions) could precipitate stuttering (Bloodstein, 1987). Some of the evidence that Johnson used to support this theory (e.g., certain tribes of American Indians, in which there appeared to be n...
