Monster group

1. (algebra) The largest sporadic group, of order 2⁴⁶ · 3²⁰ · 5⁹ · 7⁶ · 11² · 13³ · 17 · 19 · 23 · 29 · 31 · 41 · 47 · 59 · 71 (approximately 8 · 10⁵³), denoted M or F₁.

     We next consider the possible ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} _{n}}$ orbifoldings of ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {V}}^{2}}$ with respect to elements of the Monster group M [Tul].

     We note that ${\displaystyle c(1)=196883}$; this is not just a numerological coincidence, but follows from a branch of mathematics called moonshine theory which arises from string theory and relates the Monster group and modular functions.

     They were also crucial in understanding the Monster and Moonshine phenomena, which refers to the fact that the dimensions of the irreducible representations of the largest sporadic finite group, the monster group, show up in the q-expansion coefficients of the elliptic modular function j.
