Moonshine-like function characterization conjecture
Moonshine-like function characterization conjecture
Let be a moonshine-like function, meaning a completely replicable function given by the graded trace of a finite-order automorphism of a -cofinite, holomorphic vertex operator algebra of central charge with graded dimension . Moonshine-like function characterization conjecture. There is some such that
This conjecture would characterize all trace functions arising from moonshine-like vertex operator algebras as monstrous McKay–Thompson series. The paper proves strong restrictions and shows that all non-monstrous functions except possibly , , and are non-moonshine-like, leaving only a small unresolved part.
