A moonshine path from $E_8$ to the monster
Robert L. Griess Jr., Ching Hung Lam
TL;DR
This paper explores the mysterious links between the extended E8 diagram and the Monster group, providing a concrete model for understanding these connections through the 3C-case.
Contribution
It introduces a tangible model that explains the McKay and Glauberman-Norton observations connecting E8 and the Monster group.
Findings
A logical framework for the 3C-case connection
A model illustrating the E8-Monster relationship
Insights into involutions in the Monster group
Abstract
One would like an explanation of the provocative McKay and Glauberman-Norton observations connecting the extended -diagram with pairs of 2A involutions in the Monster sporadic simple group. We propose a down-to-earth model for the 3C-case which exhibits a logic to these connections.
