We develop a simple algebraic approach to the study of the Weil representation associated to a finite abelian group. As a result, we obtain a simple proof of a generalisation of a well-known formula for the absolute value of its character. We also obtain a new result about its decomposition into irreducible representations. As an example, the decomposition of the Weil representation of Sp_{2g}(Z/NZ) is described for odd N.

  1. Parafermionizing the Monster

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Parafermionization equates the Monster CFT to a gauged parafermion pair, yielding Rep(so(3)_p) symmetry and defect McKay-Thompson series invariant under Gamma_1(p+2).
