Borcherds's unified Moonshine conjecture

Let M\mathbb{M} be the Monster group. For each gMg\in\mathbb{M}, seek a 1gZ\frac{1}{|g|}\mathbb{Z}-graded super-module gV^{}^g\hat V over Z[e2πi/g]\mathbb{Z}[e^{2\pi i/|g|}], equipped with an action of a central extension (Z/gZ).CM(g)(\mathbb{Z}/|g|\mathbb{Z}).C_{\mathbb{M}}(g), satisfying all five properties stated in the conjecture: 1V^{}^1\hat V is a self-dual integral form of VV^\natural; commuting g,hg,h satisfy H^(g^,hV^)ghV^Z/gZ\hat H^*(\hat g,{}^h\hat V)\cong{}^{gh}\hat V\otimes\mathbb{Z}/|g|\mathbb{Z} for a lift g^\hat g; Fricke elements satisfy the two stated Tate-cohomology and complexification properties; gV^{}^g\hat V is “often” a vertex superalgebra with the stated form; and coprime commuting elements have the stated graded Brauer character. Borcherds's unified Moonshine conjecture. Such a rule assigning these modules and satisfying all those properties exists. This would unify Generalized and Modular Moonshine, but the construction and the required integral and mixed-characteristic compatibility remain incomplete.
