The umbral McKay–Thompson shadow conjecture

From papers

Let XX be a Niemeier root system with Coxeter number mm, let GXG^X be its associated group, and let SgXS^X_g be the attached cusp form for gGXg\in G^X. For gGXg\in G^X, let ngn_g be the order of its image in GˉX\bar G^X, and let hg=Ng/ngh_g=N_g/n_g as defined from the associated permutation cycle lengths. Shadow conjecture. For fixed XX and gg, the graded super-characters of the components indexed by rZ/2mZr\in\mathbb{Z}/2m\mathbb{Z} define the components of a vector-valued mock modular form HgXH^X_g of weight 1/21/2 on Γ0(ng)\Gamma_0(n_g) with shadow SgXS^X_g. This conjecture identifies the cusp forms attached to the group action as the shadows of the conjectural umbral McKay--Thompson series; the general statement remains open.
