The Mathieu-moonshine twisted black-hole counting conjecture

Let M24M_{24} be the Mathieu group, let gM24g\in M_{24}, let hCM24(g)h\in C_{M_{24}}(g) be in the centralizer of gg, and let Φg,h\Phi_{g,h} be the associated Siegel modular form. Define its reciprocal Fourier expansion by

1Φg,h(σ,τ,z)=m,n,Dg,h(m,n,)pmqny.\frac{1}{\Phi_{g,h}(\sigma,\tau,z)}=\sum_{m,n,\ell}D_{g,h}(m,n,\ell)p^m q^n y^\ell.

Let Ω1/4g,h(Q,P)\Omega_{1/4}^{g,h}(Q,P) be the index of hh-twisted black-hole states in the gg-orbifold CHL model.

Twisted black-hole counting conjecture. For every gM24g\in M_{24} and hCM24(g)h\in C_{M_{24}}(g),

Ω1/4g,h(Q,P)=Dg,h(Q22,P22,QP).\Omega_{1/4}^{g,h}(Q,P)=D_{g,h}\left(\frac{Q^2}{2},\frac{P^2}{2},Q\cdot P\right).

The conjecture connects generalized Mathieu moonshine functions with twisted BPS-state indices. The supplied status marks it disproved; the surrounding text says that the broader M24M_{24} BPS-state symmetry question remained under investigation.
