What dimension is the monster in?

The 194 columns of the Monster's character table span a space of 163 dimensions. The number 163 is well-known in number theory because the square root of -163 yields an extension of the rational numbers having unique factorisation, and 163 is by far the largest integer having this property.

What is the monster in geometry?

The monster can be realized as a Galois group over the rational numbers, and as a Hurwitz group. The monster is unusual among simple groups in that there is no known easy way to represent its elements. This is not due so much to its size as to the absence of "small" representations.

What is the monster number?

The least number of dimensions in which the Monster group can act non-trivially is 196,883. This number is 47.59. 71, the product of the three largest prime numbers dividing the size of the Monster, but its main point of interest is that by adding 1 we obtain 196,884.

How was the monster group found?

The first of the sporadic simple groups was discovered in the nineteenth century by French mathematician Émile Mathieu. It wasn't until 1973 that two mathematicians—Bob Griess at the University of Michigan and Bernd Fischer at Universität Bielefeld—independently predicted the existence of the monster.

What is the voice of God in mathematics?

And instead of just stopping at a "finite number," he mentions climbing to the eighth dimension in the form of an E8 lattice which has been linked in mathematical circles to the "voice of God." It is a reference to University of Cambridge mathematicians Simon Norton and John Conway and the "monster group."

Does the Monster group exist?

The Monster group was predicted to exist by Bernd Fischer and Robert Griess in 1973, as a simple group containing the Fischer groups and some other sporadic simple groups as subquotients.

What is the e8 lattice monster?

In mathematics, E8 is any of several closely related exceptional simple Lie groups, linear algebraic groups or Lie algebras of dimension 248; the same notation is used for the corresponding root lattice, which has rank 8.

Which is the monster?

A monster is a type of fictional creature found in horror, fantasy, science fiction, folklore, mythology and religion. Monsters are very often depicted as dangerous and aggressive with a strange, grotesque appearance that causes terror and fear.

How many symmetries does the monster have?

It was constructed by Robert Griess at Princeton in 1982, having been predicted to exist by him and Bernd Fischer in 1973, and was named the Monster by John Conway. Think of the Monster group as a preposterous snowflake with more than 1,050 symmetries that exists in a space of 196,883 dimensions.

How many dimensions are there?

The world as we know it has three dimensions of space—length, width and depth—and one dimension of time. But there's the mind-bending possibility that many more dimensions exist out there. According to string theory, one of the leading physics model of the last half century, the universe operates with 10 dimensions.

Does E8 exist?

The E8 group, an interrelated 248-dimensional symmetrical object, is an extremely complex one. This dense object is so complex, in fact, that it was plotted by computer for the first time in 2007.

Is Moonshine a string?

A moonshine relates representations of a finite symmetry group to a function with special symmetries [ways that you can transform the function without affecting its output]. Underlying this relationship, at least in the case of monstrous moonshine, is a string theory. String theory has two geometries.

Who discovered symmetry?

In Plato's “Symposium”, Aristophanes argues that the origins of love lie in the search for symmetry, while Pythagoras and Theaetetus—who discovered the icosahedron, the geometric shape with 20 triangular faces—explored the symmetries of geometric figures.
