Monster symmetry and extremal CFTs

Abstract

We test some recent conjectures about extremal selfdual CFTs, which are the candidate holographic duals of pure gravity in AdS3. We prove that no c = 48 extremal selfdual CFT or SCFT may possess Monster symmetry. Furthermore, we disprove a recent argument against the existence of extremal selfdual CFTs of large central charge.
