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

Nice work 👏 twitter.com/dias_geophysic…
Following on from our post, highlighting inspiring #WomeninResearch and encouraging #MondayMotiviation to explore these subjects. @ChantalKobel presents Celticist, Nessa Ní Shéaghdha and her contributions to the discipline youtu.be/LGPLltjTBKw #DIASdiscovers
We have entered the last month to capture that amazing photo of the sky and win our Astrophotography competition. We are accepting photographs taken between 01 January 2020 and 31 March 2021. You can submit an entry up to Friday 02nd April 2021. More: dias.ie/reachforthesta…

And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
