Automorphism groups and uniqueness of holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 (Q6038443)

Recall that a vertex operator algebra (VOA) is said to be \textit{rational} if its admissible module category is semisimple. One important class of rational VOAs are holomorphic VOAs. A rational VOA is said to be \textit{holomorphic} if it only has itself as an irreducible module. In this paper, the authors consider holomorphic VOAs of central charge 24. It is worth to recall that if the weight one Lie algebra \(V_1\) of such a VOA \(V\) is nontrivial, then it uniquely determines the isomorphism class of \(V \). Moreover, such Lie algebras are given in the well-known Schellekens' list [\textit{A. N. Schellekens}, Commun. Math. Phys. 153, No. 1, 159--185 (1993; Zbl 0782.17014)]. The authors describe the automorphism groups of all holomorphic VOAs of central charge 24 with non-trivial weight one Lie algebras. In order to do so, they employ the fact that such VOAs \(V\) are simple current extensions of \(V_L\otimes W\), where \(W\) stands for the commutant \(\text{Com}_V(\mathfrak{h})\) of the Cartan subalgebra \(\mathfrak{h}\) of \(V_1\) in \(V\) and \(V_L\) is a certain lattice VOA. Moreover, they prove the conjecture of \textit{G. Höhn} [``On the genus of the moonshine module'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1708.05990}] on the number of holomorphic VOAs of central charge 24 which are obtained as inequivalent simple current extensions of certain VOAs.
