Lian–Yau mirror-moonshine conjecture for algebraic K3 surfaces

Let z(q)z(q) be the mirror map for a one-parameter deformation of an algebraic K3 surface arising from an orbifold construction whose Picard–Fuchs equation is third order. A Lian–Yau conjecture. For some cZc\in\mathbb{Z}, the qq-series

1z(q)+c\frac{1}{z(q)}+c

is a Thompson series Tg(q)T_g(q) for some element gg of the Monster. This conjecture expresses the observed mirror-moonshine phenomenon, in which reciprocals of mirror maps agree, up to an additive constant, with Thompson series; the statement concerns the modularity of mirror maps for the specified class of K3 families.
