Generalized Moonshine And Orbifold Constructions, Michael Tuite, Rossen Ivanov Jan 2002

Generalized Moonshine And Orbifold Constructions, Michael Tuite, Rossen Ivanov

Conference papers

A brief review is given of some of our recent work on Generalised Monstrous Moonshine using abelian orbifoldings of the Moonshine Module.


Some Irrational Generalised Moonshine From Orbifolds, Rossen Ivanov, Michael Tuite Jan 2002

Some Irrational Generalised Moonshine From Orbifolds, Rossen Ivanov, Michael Tuite

Articles

We verify the Generalised Moonshine conjectures for some irrational modular functions for theMonster 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.


Rational Generalized Moonshine From Abelian Orbifoldings Of The Moonshine Module, Rossen Ivanov, Michael Tuite Jan 2002

Rational Generalized Moonshine From Abelian Orbifoldings Of The Moonshine Module, Rossen Ivanov, Michael Tuite

Articles

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 …
