چکیده

It is proved that the vertex operator algebra V is isomorphic to the moonshine VOA V ♮ of Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman if it satisfies conditions (a,b,c,d) or (a,b,c,d). These conditions are: (a) V is the only irreducible module for itself and V is C2-cofinite; (a) dimVn ≤ dimV ♮ n for n ≥ 3; (b) the central charge is 24; (c) V1 = 0; (d) V2 (under the first product on V ) is isomorphic to the Griess algebra. Our two main theorems therefore establish a weak version of the FLM uniqueness conjecture for the moonshine vertex operator algebra. We believe that these are the first such results.

Super-moonshine for Conway’s Largest Sporadic Group

We study a self-dual N = 1 super vertex operator algebra, denoted A, and prove that the full symmetry group is Conway’s largest sporadic simple group Co1. We verify a uniqueness result for A which is analogous to that conjectured to characterize the Moonshine vertex operator algebra V . The action of Co1 on A is sufficiently transparent that one can derive explicit expressions for the McKay-Tho...

A new existence proof of the Monster by VOA theory

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.

A Characterization of the Moonshine Vertex Operator Algebra by Means of Virasoro Frames

In this article, we show that a framed vertex operator algebra V satisfying the conditions: (1) V is holomorphic (i.e, V is the only irreducible V -module); (2) V is of rank 24; and (3) V1 = 0; is isomorphic to the moonshine vertex operator algebra V \ constructed by Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman [12].

Framed 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 ...

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...
