The central-extension relabeling conjecture for Mathieu moonshine

Let gM23M24g\in M_{23}\subset M_{24}, let α\alpha satisfy the cocycle conditions referred to in the source, and let CM24α(g)C^\alpha_{M_{24}}(g) be the corresponding central extension, with elements QQ and gg as in the construction. For the twisted twining genera ϕa,b(τ,z)\phi_{a,b}(\tau,z), and for kCM24α(g)k\in C^\alpha_{M_{24}}(g) and m,rZm,r\in\mathbb Z, central-extension relabeling conjecture. There is an automorphism φ:CM24α(g)CM24α(g)\varphi:C^\alpha_{M_{24}}(g)\to C^\alpha_{M_{24}}(g) such that φ(g)=Q\varphi(g)=Q, φ(Q)=g\varphi(Q)=g, and

b=0N1e2πirbNNϕgαm,gαbφ(k)(τ,z)=s=0N1e2πimsNNϕgαr,gαsk(τ,z).\sum_{b=0}^{N-1}\frac{e^{\frac{2\pi i rb}{N}}}{N}\phi_{{g_{\alpha}}^m,{g_{\alpha}}^{-b}\varphi(k)}(\tau,z)=\sum_{s=0}^{N-1}\frac{e^{\frac{2\pi i ms}{N}}}{N}\phi_{g^r_\alpha,g^{-s}_\alpha k}(\tau,z).

This conjecture predicts an outer relabeling symmetry of the central extension that exchanges gg and QQ and makes the corresponding twisted-sector identifications equivariant; the source gives no resolution status.
