The Mathieu moonshine representation-pair conjecture

Let K=n=1Knqn/8K=\bigoplus_{n=-1}^{\infty}K_n q^{n/8} be the virtual graded M24M_{24}-module determined by the McKay–Thompson series, with KnK_n the representation whose character is given by the coefficient of qn/8q^{n/8}. Let n=m27(mod8)n=\ell m^2\equiv 7\pmod{8}. The irreducible representations are denoted by their character labels χi\chi_i, and a pair (χi,χj)(\chi_i,\chi_j) means a pair of conjugate irreducible representations. Mathieu moonshine representation-pair conjecture. For =7\ell=7, KnK_n contains one of the pairs (χ3,χ4)(\chi_3,\chi_4), (χ12,χ13)(\chi_{12},\chi_{13}), or (χ15,χ16)(\chi_{15},\chi_{16}); for =15\ell=15, it contains the pair (χ5,χ6)(\chi_5,\chi_6); and for =23\ell=23, it contains the pair (χ10,χ11)(\chi_{10},\chi_{11}). This conjecture specifies particular irreducible constituents expected in the Mathieu moonshine module from the Fourier coefficients of the McKay–Thompson series. The supplied text does not give evidence that the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
