Moonshine : the first quarter century and beyond : proceedings of a workshop on the moonshine conjectures and vertex algebras /

"In 1979, John Conway and Simon Norton's famous paper, 'Monstrous Moonshine', outlined the remarkable connection between the monster group M and the theory of modular functions. The search for an explanation of this phenomenon involved the development and application of diverse a...
