Frenkel, Lepowsky, and Meurman have constructed a representation of the largest sporadic simple finite group, the Fischer-Griess monster, as the automorphism group of the operator product algebra of a conformal field theory with central chargec=24. In string terminology, their construction corresponds to compactification on aZ2 asymmetric orbifold constructed from the torusR24/∧, where ∧ is the Leech lattice. In this note we point out that their construction naturally embodies as well a larger… Expand
