Allcock's Bimonster covering conjecture
Allcock's Bimonster covering conjecture
A 13-dimensional complex ball quotient is obtained from the Allcock lattice construction, with denoting the corresponding ball quotient and its singular or special-locus pair. Allcock's conjecture. The universal reflection Galois group of the pair is isomorphic to the Bimonster
where is the Monster, the largest sporadic simple group. This is the precise covering-group formulation of Allcock's proposal for the natural Bimonster covering of the 13-dimensional ball quotient; the supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
