Speaker: Sergey Galkin
Title: Kummer and Niemeier (Fano and Mathieu - II)
Date: Apr 4, 2011, 17:30 - 19:30
Place: Independent University of Moscow, Room 304
Abstract:
I'll explain some prehistory for the first talk:
Kachru-Vafa's formula, Lian-Yau's "mirror moonshine", Golyshev's
"miraculous eta-product formula". I'll also show the other relations
between Kummer surfaces, Niemeier lattices and Mathieu groups (after
Mukai-Kondo, Eguchi-Ooguri-Tachikawa and others), and construct a
local system of 24 elements associated with a family of K3's.
