CFT 2011

A brief introduction to the idea of Mathieu Moonshine will be given, i.e. to the observation of Eguchi, Ooguri and Tachikawa that the Fourier coefficients of the elliptic genus on K3 have an interpretation in terms of M24 representations. I shall describe evidence in favour of this idea, and explain how some aspects of it can be understood by studying the symmetries of sigma model CFTs on K3. (This is based on joint work with S Hohenegger and R Volpato.)
