The Conway-group classification conjecture for symplectic automorphisms of manifolds of K3[n]K3^{[n]} type

Let XX be a manifold obtained as a smooth deformation of the Hilbert scheme of nn points on a K3K3 surface, called a manifold of K3[n]K3^{[n]} type. Let Co1Co_1 be the Conway group, and let GG be a finite group of symplectic automorphisms of such a manifold for some nn. The subgroup conditions referred to are those in the preceding sufficient proposition: GG is a subgroup of Co0Co_0 whose invariant sublattice in the Leech lattice has rank at least 44 and whose discriminant group has fewer generators than its rank.

Conway-group classification conjecture. There is a bijective correspondence between finite groups of symplectic automorphisms of manifolds of K3[n]K3^{[n]} type (for some nn) and subgroups GG of Co1Co_1 satisfying these conditions.

This conjecture seeks a complete classification of finite symplectic automorphism groups in the K3[n]K3^{[n]}-type setting, extending the realization of symplectic automorphism groups on K3K3 surfaces through the Conway group. The paper presents the claim as a conjecture and gives sufficient realization results, but no resolution is supplied here.
