Twisted chiral three-dimensional quantum gravity conjecture for Monster elements
Twisted chiral three-dimensional quantum gravity conjecture for Monster elements
Let be the Monster, let , let be the associated group, and let denote the cusp subgroup. Let be the normalized Rademacher sum, and let and denote the moonshine vertex operator algebra and its simple -twisted module. Twisted chiral quantum-gravity conjecture. There exists a family of twisted chiral three-dimensional quantum gravities at central charge , indexed by , whose partition functions are naturally given by sums over geometries parameterized by and coincide with
The untwisted member has a VOA structure isomorphic to , and the member corresponding to has a -twisted -module structure isomorphic to that of . This connects monstrous moonshine and three-dimensional quantum gravity; the source presents the claim as its first conjecture, with no resolution supplied.
