The algebraic meaning of genus-zero1
The Conway–Norton conjectures unexpectedly related the Monster with certain special modular functions (Hauptmoduls). Their proof by Borcherds et al was remarkable for demonstrating the rich mathematics implicit there. Unfortunately Moonshine remained almost as mysterious after the proof as before. In particular, a computer check — as opposed to a general conceptual argument — was used to verify...
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 کاملA Monster Lie Algebra ?
We define a remarkable Lie algebra of infinite dimension, and conjecture that it may be related to the Fischer-Griess Monster group. The idea was mooted in [C-N] that there might be an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra (or superalgebra) L that in some sense “explains” the Fischer-Griess ‘Monster” group M . In this chapter we produce some candidates for L based on properties of the Leech lattice ...
متن کاملMonster : A Tool for Analyzing the Interaction Between Operating Systems and Computer Architectures
To enable computer designers to better evaluate the architectural needs of operating systems, we have developed Monster , a tool which combines hardware and software monitoring techniques to unobtrusively obtain system performance data. This report is split into two major parts. In Part I, we argue the need for OS performance evaluation tools, summarize previous hardware and software based moni...
متن کاملFoucault’s Monsters, the Abnormal Individual and the Challenge of English Law
This article considers the challenge that an English legal history of the category monster poses for Foucault’s genealogy of the abnormal individual. While the idea of the monster is not confined to law it is contended that the inauguration of the monster category into English law and its subsequent development provides a useful vantage point from which to critique Foucault’s position. While la...
