Eguchi, Ooguri and Tachikawa have observed that the elliptic genus of type II string theory on K3 surfaces appears to possess a Moonshine for the largest Mathieu group. Subsequent work by several people established a candidate for the elliptic genus twisted by each element of M24. In this paper we prove that the resulting sequence of class functions are true characters of M24, proving the Eguchi-Ooguri-Tachikawa conjecture. We prove the evenness property of the multiplicities, as conjectured by several authors. We also identify the role group cohomology plays in both K3-Mathieu Moonshine and Monstrous Moonshine; in particular this gives a cohomological interpretation for the non-Fricke elements in Norton's Generalised Monstrous Moonshine conjecture. We investigate the intriguing proposal of Gaberdiel-Hohenegger-Volpato that K3-Mathieu Moonshine lifts to the Conway group Co1.

  1. On the Symmetry of Odd Leech Lattice CFT

    hep-th 2024-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The M24 and M23 lattice symmetries of the odd Leech lattice do not lift to automorphisms of its lattice vertex operator algebra; the relevant group extensions are non-split.

  2. SU(2) channels the cancellation of K3 BPS states

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A geometric SU(2) action is proposed as the symmetry that channels the cancellation of excess BPS states in Z2-orbifold K3 superconformal field theories, with explicit verification at levels one and two.
