Nov 15, 2010 at 20:28 comment added Jeff Harvey Yuji, I don't think that construction works. I'm actually quite skeptical now that any $c=6,N=2$ SCFT exists with $M_{24}$ symmetry and think there must be some deeper voodoo involved in explaining the connection between the K3 elliptic genus and $M_{24}$.
Nov 2, 2010 at 15:28 comment added Yuji Tachikawa That analogy is too good not to be true. I guess at a certain radius, the bosons on that lattice has an N=2 supersymmetry. Then taking the elliptic genus w.r.t. the enhanced susy should basically kill the right movers and result in a holomorphic "CFT". Hopefully $L_3(2)$ and the extra special part $2^{1+6}$ survives this procedure.
