Abstract:
There is a correspondence between G-Fano threefolds and
conjugacy classes in Mathieu group M24.
Construction of cusp-forms from conjugacy classes in Mathieu group is
well-known. It is less known that A-model on G-Fano threefolds also
naturally produce modular forms. Why these two lists of modular forms
are so similar is yet another moonshine.
