The moonshine module for Conway's group
JFR Duncan, S Mack-Crane - Forum of Mathematics, Sigma, 2015 - cambridge.org
We exhibit an action of Conway's group–the automorphism group of the Leech lattice–on a
distinguished super vertex operator algebra, and we prove that the associated graded trace …

Two new avatars of moonshine for the Thompson group
The Thompson sporadic group admits special relationships to modular forms of two kinds.

From the Monster to Thompson to O'Nan
JFR Duncan - arxiv preprint arxiv:1909.09684, 2019 - arxiv.org
The commencement of monstrous moonshine is a connection between the largest sporadic
simple group---the monster---and complex elliptic curves. Here we explain how a closer look …
