Generalized moonshine conjecture for the monster
Generalized moonshine conjecture for the monster
Let be the monster, let be commuting elements, and let denote the upper half-plane. A generalized character is a function associating a holomorphic function on to each commuting pair . Generalized moonshine conjecture. There exists a generalized character satisfying the following conditions: (1) is invariant under simultaneous conjugation of and ; (2) for any , for some constant depending on the matrix; (3) for fixed , the coefficients of the -expansion of form characters of a graded representation of a central extension of ; (4) is either constant or a genus-zero function; and (5) for all if and only if . This conjecture extends monstrous moonshine from the identity-twisted setting to commuting pairs in the monster. It remains open, although Borcherds's proof of the original moonshine conjecture establishes the genus-zero assertion for , and other special cases have been resolved.
