Realization conjecture for all Conway and umbral twining functions

Let NN range over the 24 Niemeier lattices and let Φ(N)\Phi(N) be the associated set of Conway or umbral twining functions. Realization conjecture. For every element ϕΦ(N)\phi\in\Phi(N), there exists a K3K3 nonlinear sigma model T\mathcal{T} with a symmetry gg such that

ϕ=Zg(T.)\phi={\cal Z}_g(\mathcal{T}.)

Thus every function produced by Conway or umbral moonshine should arise as a physical twining genus of a K3K3 nonlinear sigma model. The source presents this as a converse to the completeness conjecture; it remains unproved.
