1 Generalised Moonshine in the elliptic genus of K3 Daniel Persson Chalmers University of Technology Algebra, Geometry and the Physics of BPS-States Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics, Bonn, November 12, 2012 Based on work to appear with M. Gaberdiel, H. Ronellenfitsch & R. Volpato
2 In 2010, Eguchi, Ooguri, Tachikawa conjectured that there is Moonshine in the elliptic genus of K3 connected to the finite sporadic group M 24 S 24 EOT observation: Fourier coefficients of K3-elliptic genus are (sums of) dimensions of irreps of M 24
3 The word moonshine generally refers to surprising connections between a priori unrelated parts of mathematics and physics, involving: representation theory of finite groups generalised Kac-Moody algebras modular forms conformal field theory
4 The word moonshine generally refers to surprising connections between a priori unrelated parts of mathematics and physics, involving: representation theory of finite groups generalised Kac-Moody algebras modular forms conformal field theory The prime example of course being Monstrous Moonshine.
5 Monstrous Moonshine pertains to the characters (McKay-Thompson series) 1X T g ( ) =Tr V \(gq L 0 1 )= Tr (g)q n V \ n 1M V \ = n= 1 V \ n n= 1 graded M -module 8g 2 M Moonshine conjecture (Conway-Norton): The McKay-Thompson series are modular-invariant under some genus zero g SL(2, R) g genus zero g\h The conjecture was proven by Borcherds in 1992.
6 In 1987 Norton proposed a vast generalisation of the monstrous moonshine conjecture, under the name of Generalised Moonshine. The aim of this talk is to address the analogue of generalised moonshine for the recently discovered connection between the K3 elliptic genus and M 24
7 Motivation? Of independent mathematical interest to understand new moonshine phenomena. Wall-crossing and (twisted) N=4 dyons in CHL-models. BPS-algebras....and many more

22 Mathieu Moonshine
23 Mathieu Moonshine Non-linear sigma models with target space K3 N =(4, 4) superconformal algebra with c =6 Large moduli space of such theories: M = O(4, 20; Z)\O(4, 20; R)/(O(4) O(20)) The physical spectrum varies over moduli space, but there is a graded partition function, the elliptic genus, which is constant. The elliptic genus of RR-ground states. K3 only receives contributions from the right-moving
24 The elliptic genus is defined by [Witten][Kawai, Yamada, Yang] (q = e 2 i,y = e 2 iz ) K3 =Tr HRR ( 1) J 0+ J 0 q L 0 c/24 q L 0 c/24 y J 0

35 Twisted twining elliptic genera We now want to extend the story and consider the Norton s generalised monstrous moonshine conjecture. M 24 We are thus led to define twisted twining genera as follows: -analogue of g,h(,z)=tr h ( 1) J 0+ J 0 q L 0 Hg c/24 q L 0 c/24 y J 0 for commuting pairs g, h 2 M 24 The trace is taken over the twisted Hilbert space H g.

To analyze the twisted twining genera and their connection with we must therefore bring in some orbifold machinery. M 24
38 Holomorphic Orbifolds and Group Cohomology Consider a holomorphic CFT V with G = Aut(V).
39 Holomorphic Orbifolds and Group Cohomology Consider a holomorphic CFT V with G = Aut(V). For each g 2 G there is a unique twisted sector V g with character Z g,h ( ) =g h =Tr Vg hq L 0 1 8h 2 C G (g) = Aut(V g )

For each g 2 G there is a unique twisted sector V g with character Z g,h ( ) =g h =Tr Vg hq L 0 1 8h 2 C G (g) = Aut(V g ) The full partition function of the orbifold theory V/G is then Z( ) = X g 1 C G (g) X h2c G (g) Z g,h ( ) [Dijkgraaf, Vafa, Verlinde, Verlinde]
41 Holomorphic Orbifolds and Group Cohomology Fact: Consistent holomorphic orbifolds are classified by H 3 (G, U(1)). [Dijkgraaf, Witten][Dijkgraaf, Pasquier, Roche][Bantay][Coste, Gannon, Ruelle]
42 Holomorphic Orbifolds and Group Cohomology Fact: Consistent holomorphic orbifolds are classified by H 3 (G, U(1)). [Dijkgraaf, Witten][Dijkgraaf, Pasquier, Roche][Bantay][Coste, Gannon, Ruelle] Concretely, this works as follows. There exists an element 2 H 3 (G, U(1)) : G G G! U(1) (3-cocycle = 3-cochain + closedness) which determines a distinguished element c h 2 H 2 (C G (h),u(1)) via c h (g 1,g 2 )= (h, g 1,g 2 ) (g 1,g 2, (g 1 g 2 ) 1 h(g 1 g 2 )) (g 1,h,h 1 g 2 h)
43 Then, under modular transformations the twisted twining characters of a holomorphic orbifold obey the relations [Bantay][Coste, Gannon, Ruelle] Z g,h ( + 1) = c g (g, h)z g,gh ( ) Z g,h ( 1/ ) =c h (g, g 1 )Z h,g 1( ) Moreover, under conjugation of g, h one has the general relation Z g,h ( ) = c g(h, k) c g (k, k 1 hk) Z k 1 gk,k 1 hk( ) 8k 2 G
44 Cohomological Obstructions from H 3 (G) Z g,h ( ) = c g(h, k) c g (k, k 1 hk) Z k 1 gk,k 1 hk( ) Whenever commutes with both and one finds k g h Z g,h = c g(h, k) c g (k, h) Z g,h
45 Cohomological Obstructions from H 3 (G) Z g,h ( ) = c g(h, k) c g (k, k 1 hk) Z k 1 gk,k 1 hk( ) Whenever commutes with both and one finds k g h Z g,h = c g(h, k) c g (k, h) Z g,h So Z g,h =0 unless the 2-cocycle c g is regular: c g (h, k) =c g (k, h) When this is not satisfied we have obstructions!

81 Multiplicative Lift for Generalised Mathieu Moonshine Following Dijkgraaf, Moore, Verlinde, Verlinde we define the second quantized twisted twining genus via the lift g,h(,z) g,h =exp 1 X N=0 p N (T N g,h)(,z)
82 Multiplicative Lift for Generalised Mathieu Moonshine Following Dijkgraaf, Moore, Verlinde, Verlinde we define the second quantized twisted twining genus via the lift g,h(,z) g,h =exp 1 X p N (T N g,h)(,z) N=0 Here T N is the twisted equivariant Hecke operator: (T N g,h)(,z)= 1 N X a,d>0,ad=n Xd 1 b=0 g,h( ab 0 d ) a + b g d,g b h,az a d [Ganter][Carnahan]
83 Multiplicative Lift for Generalised Mathieu Moonshine Following Dijkgraaf, Moore, Verlinde, Verlinde we define the second quantized twisted twining genus via the lift g,h(,z) g,h =exp 1 X p N (T N g,h)(,z) N=0 Here T N is the twisted equivariant Hecke operator: (T N g,h)(,z)= 1 N X a,d>0,ad=n Xd 1 b=0 g,h( ab 0 d ) a + b g d,g b h,az a d [Ganter][Carnahan] T N : J0,1 weak!

84 Multiplicative Lift for Generalised Mathieu Moonshine Following Dijkgraaf, Moore, Verlinde, Verlinde we define the second quantized twisted twining genus via the lift g,h(,z) g,h =exp 1 X p N (T N g,h)(,z) N=0 Here T N is the twisted equivariant Hecke operator: (T N g,h)(,z)= 1 N X a,d>0,ad=n Xd 1 b=0 g,h( ab 0 d ) a + b g d,g b h,az a d [Ganter][Carnahan] We expect that g,h A g,h has modular properties w.r.t.

85 Multiplicative Lift for Generalised Mathieu Moonshine Following Dijkgraaf, Moore, Verlinde, Verlinde we define the second quantized twisted twining genus via the lift g,h(,z) g,h =exp 1 X p N (T N g,h)(,z) N=0 By taking the z! 0 limit of g,h(,, z) we reproduce g,h ( ) all of Mason s generalised eta-products! lim z!0 p g,h(,,z) =exp[ 1X N=0 p N+1 T N g,h (, 0)] = g,h ( )
86 We have thus given strong evidence for the following triality of generalised M 24 -moonshines: Siegel modular forms g,h(,z, ) wall-crossing M 24 multiplicative lift ( second quantization ) g,h ( ) g,h(,z) Mason s generalised eta-products twisted twining genera (Jacobi forms)
87 Summary and Outlook
88 Summary We have established that generalised Mathieu moonshine holds by computing all twisted twining genera g,h. Twisted twining genera can be expanded in projective characters of C M24 (g). A key role is played by the third cohomology group H 3 (M 24,U(1)). The automorphic lift provides a link to Mason s generalised eta-products.
89 Outlook Can one construct a generalised Kac-Moody algebra for each conjugacy class [g] 2 M 24? (c.f. [Borcherds][Carnahan]) Relation to twisted dyons in CHL models, wall-crossing...? Relation with BPS-algebras à la Harvey Moore...? Generalised Umbral Moonshine...? [Cheng, Duncan, Harvey] It would be interesting to revisit the Generalised Monstrous Moonshine conjecture in light of our results for. M 24 Z g,h Some of the Norton series vanish; could this be explained via obstructions arising from H 3 (M,U(1))? H 3 (M,U(1)) not known but believed to contain Z 48. [Mason]
90 What does M 24 act on? Our results strongly suggests that there is a holomorphic vertex operator algebra underlying Mathieu Moonshine...
