Abstract:We define a D = 26 + 1 Monstrous, purely bosonic M-theory, whose massless spectrum, of dimension 196, 884, is acted upon by the Monster group. Upon reduction to D = 25 + 1, this gives rise to a plethora of non-supersymmetric, gravito-dilatonic theories, whose spectrum irreducibly splits under the Monster as 196, 884 = 1 ⊕ 196, 883, where the singlet is identified with the dilaton, and 196, 883 denotes the smallest non-trivial representation of the Monster. This clarifies the definition of the Monster as the au… Show more
