Vertex operators and sporadic groups
John F. Duncan
In the 1980's, the work of Frenkel, Lepowsky and Meurman, along with that of Borcherds, culminated in the notion of vertex operator algebra, and an example whose full symmetry grou…

Arithmetic groups and the affine E8 Dynkin diagram
John F. Duncan
Several decades ago, John McKay suggested a correspondence between nodes of the affine E8 Dynkin diagram and certain conjugacy classes in the Monster group. Thanks to Monstrous Moo…

Super-moonshine for Conway's largest sporadic group
John F. Duncan
We study a self-dual N=1 super vertex operator algebra and prove that the full symmetry group is Conway's largest sporadic simple group. We verify a uniqueness result which is anal…
