Completeness conjecture for Conway and umbral K3 twining genera

Let T(Π)\mathcal{T}(\Pi) be a K3K3 nonlinear sigma model with symmetry group GG, let ΓG\Gamma_G be its co-invariant lattice, and let Φ(N)\Phi(N) denote the corresponding set of Conway or umbral twining functions for a Niemeier lattice NN. Completeness conjecture for K3 twining genera. There exists at least one Niemeier lattice NN such that ΓG\Gamma_G can be embedded in NN, GGNG\subseteq G_N, and, for every gGg\in G, the twining genus Zg{\cal Z}_g coincides with an element of Φ(N)\Phi(N). Equivalently, for each K3K3 nonlinear sigma model, all physical twining genera should be contained in Φ(N)\Phi(N) for some Niemeier lattice. The conjecture is supported by known geometric and Landau--Ginzburg examples and by consistency with parity, but remains open.
