Title: Mathieu Moonshine: quarter BPS states at the Kummer point
Abstract: The elliptic genus of K3 surfaces encrypts an intriguing connection between the sporadic group Mathieu 24 and non-linear sigma models on K3, dubbed `Mathieu Moonshine’. By restricting to Kummer K3 surfaces, which may be constructed as Z2 orbifolds of complex 2-tori with blown up singularities, it has been possible to devise a framework in which the concept of symmetry surfing can be explored and tested in a concrete way

To stop the outbreak, we need to reduce this number below 1. Hand-washing, cleaning frequently touched surfaces, wearing face masks (properly) … but most importantly: social distancing. You won’t get infected by a person you don’t make a contact with. (3/3)
