Monstrous Moonshine conjecture

About 4 years old · traced to

Let M\mathbb{M} be the Monster finite simple group, and let J(q)J(q) be the normalized Hauptmodul for SL⁡(2,Z)\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}). Monstrous Moonshine conjecture. There exists a natural infinite-dimensional Z\mathbb{Z}-graded M\mathbb{M}-module W=⨁n=−1∞WnW=\bigoplus_{n=-1}^{\infty}W_n such that

∑n=−1∞dim⁡(Wn)qn=J(q),\sum_{n=-1}^{\infty}\dim(W_n)q^n=J(q),

and, for every g∈Mg\in\mathbb{M},

∑n=−1∞tr⁡(g∣Wn)qn\sum_{n=-1}^{\infty}\operatorname{tr}\left(g|_{W_n}\right)q^n

is the Hauptmodul of a genus-zero function field arising from a suitable discrete subgroup of SL⁡(2,R)\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R}). The conjecture is a central result of Monstrous Moonshine and has been proved through the construction of the Moonshine vertex operator algebra and subsequent work.
