Realization conjecture for all Conway and umbral twining functions
Realization conjecture for all Conway and umbral twining functions
Let range over the 24 Niemeier lattices and let be the associated set of Conway or umbral twining functions. Realization conjecture. For every element , there exists a nonlinear sigma model with a symmetry such that
Thus every function produced by Conway or umbral moonshine should arise as a physical twining genus of a nonlinear sigma model. The source presents this as a converse to the completeness conjecture; it remains unproved.
