Mathieu Moonshine and Siegel Modular Forms

Abstract

A second-quantized version of Mathieu moonshine leads to product formulae for functions that are potentially genus-two Siegel Modular Forms analogous to the Igusa Cusp Form. The modularity of these functions do not follow in an obvious manner. For some conjugacy classes, but not all, they match known modular forms. In this paper, we express the product formulae for all conjugacy classes of $M_{24}$ in terms of products of standard modular forms. This provides a new proof of their modularity.
