A new existence proof of the Monster by VOA theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use uniqueness of a VOA (vertex operator algebra) extension of (V + EE8) 3 to a Moonshine type VOA to give a new existence proof of a finite simple group of Monster type. The proof is relatively direct. Our methods depend on VOA representation theory and are free of many special calculations which traditionally occur in theory of the Monster.

Observation and Vertex Operator Algebras Generated by Two Conformal Vectors of Central Charge 1 / 2
and the Monster simple group was discussed. In this paper, we will provide the technical details. We will determine the structure of the coset subalgebras and show that they are all generated by two conformal vectors of central charge 1/2.We also study the representation theory of these coset subalgebras and show that the product of two Miyamoto involutions is in the desired conjugacy class of ...
متن کاملMckay’s Observation and Vertex Operator Algebras Generated by Two Conformal Vectors of Central Charge 1/2
This paper is a continuation of [33] at which several coset subalgebras of the lattice VOA V2E8 were constructed and the relationship between such algebras with the famous McKay observation on the extended E8 diagram and the Monster simple group were discussed. In this article, we shall provide the technical details. We completely determine the structure of the coset subalgebras constructed and...
متن کاملVertex Operator Algebras, Extended E8 Diagram, and Mckay’s Observation on the Monster Simple Group
We study McKay’s observation on the Monster simple group, which relates the 2A-involutions of the Monster simple group to the extended E8 diagram, using the theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs). We first consider the sublattices L of the E8 lattice obtained by removing one node from the extended E8 diagram at each time. We then construct a certain coset (or commutant) subalgebra U associat...
متن کامل3-state Potts Model and Automorphism of Vertex Operator Algebra of Order 3
In [M2], the author has defined an automorphism τ of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) of order 2 using a sub VOA isomorphic to Ising model L(12 , 0). We here define an automorphism of VOA of order 3 by using a sub VOA isomorphic to a direct sum of 3-state Potts models L(45 , 0) and an its module L( 4 5 , 3). If V is the moonshine VOA V ♮, the defined automorphism is a 3A element of the monster s...
متن کاملIntegral forms in vertex operator algebras which are invariant under finite groups
For certain vertex operator algebras (e.g., lattice type) and given finite group of automorphisms, we prove existence of a positive definite integral form invariant under the group. Applications include an integral form in the Moonshine VOA which is invariant under the Monster, and examples in other lattice type VOAs.
