Rational Generalised Moonshine from Abelian Orbifoldings of the Moonshine Module
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 is either constant or is a hauptmodul for an explicitly found modular fixing group of genus zero. We thus confirm in the cases considered the Generalised Moonshine conjectures for all rational modular functions for the Monster centralisers related to the Baby Monster, Fischer, Harada-Norton and Held sporadic simple groups. We also derive non-trivial constraints on the possible Monster conjugacy classes to which the elements of the orbifolding abelian group may belong. PACS: 11.25.Hf, 02.10.De, 02.20.Bb

On the Relationship between Monstrous Moonshine and the Uniqueness of the Moonshine Module
We consider the relationship between the conjectured uniqueness of the Moonshine Module, V♮, and Monstrous Moonshine, the genus zero property of the modular invariance group for each Monster group Thompson series. We first discuss a family of possible Zn meromorphic orbifold constructions of V♮ based on automorphisms of the Leech lattice compactified bosonic string. We reproduce the Thompson se...
متن کاملFramed vertex operator algebras, codes and the moonshine module
For a simple vertex operator algebra whose Virasoro element is a sum of commutative Virasoro elements of central charge 1 2 , two codes are introduced and studied. It is proved that such vertex operator algebras are rational. For lattice vertex operator algebras and related ones, decompositions into direct sums of irreducible modules for the product of the Virasoro algebras of central charge 1 ...
متن کاملSome Irrational Generalised Moonshine from Orbifolds
We verify the Generalised Moonshine conjectures for some irrational modular functions for the Monster centralisers related to the Harada-Norton, Held, M12 and L3(3) simple groups based on certain orbifolding constraints. We find explicitly the fixing groups of the hauptmoduls arising in each case. PACS: 11.25.Hf, 02.10.De, 02.20.Bb
متن کاملA Nonmeromorphic Extension of the Moonshine Module Vertex Operator Algebra
We describe a natural structure of an abelian intertwining algebra (in the sense of Dong and Lepowsky) on the direct sum of the untwisted vertex operator algebra constructed from the Leech lattice and its (unique) irreducible twisted module. When restricting ourselves to the moonshine module, we obtain a new and conceptual proof that the moonshine module has a natural structure of a vertex oper...
متن کاملLifts of automorphisms of vertex operator algebras in simple current extensions
In this article, we study isomorphisms between simple current extensions of a simple VOA. For example, we classify the isomorphism classes of simple current extensions of the VOAs V + √ 2E8 and V + Λ16 , where Λ16 is the Barnes-Wall lattice of rank 16. Moreover, we consider the same simple current extension and describe the normalizer of the abelian automorphism group associated with this exten...
