Because of these and other confluences, wrote the Stanford University physicist Shamit Kachru in an email, “my guess is the subject will have legs and develop well.” There’s every reason to hope, Duncan said, that this new wave of moonshine may soon illuminate the dark corners of mathematics where the other pariahs lie hidden.

I would suggest that it is a HUGE mistake for prominent string theorists to ignore criticism from Peter Woit and others and dismissing opinions of outsiders as ‘crackpots’. Let us imagine the modular function j is being generated by a partition function of a 2d CFT on a torus.

LECTURE 12: MONSTROUS MOONSHINE Today, we’re going to take a bit of a detour from geometric ideas and talk about a famous story from the mid 1980s called “Monstrous moonshine.” In part this is because there are new developments surrounding this class of ideas that we will revisit later on.
