The Monster and Lie Algebras ― Proceedings of a Special Research Quarter Held at the Ohio State University, May 1996

For specialists and graduate students working in finite simple groups, especially the Monster simple group, and in Lie algebras. The 16 selected papers discuss such aspects as the radical of a vertex operator algebra, modular forms associated with the Monster module, the moonshine of vertix operator algebra and a tensor product of Ising models, graded Lie algebras of characteristic three with a classical reductive null component, chief factors and the principal block of a restricted Lie algebra, and a generalization of the Jordan approach to symmetric Riemannian spaces.
