	08.19.98 - UC Berkeley professor wins highest honor in mathematics, the prestigious Fields Medal
		Richard Ewen Borcherds, a professor of mathematics at UC Berkeley since 1993, received the medal for his work in the fields of algebra and geometry, in particular for his proof of the so-called "Monstrous Moonshine" conjecture.
		Borcherds, 38, is best known for his proof of a conjecture so outlandish that people had given it the name Monstrous Moonshine.
		Borcherds, who has been on leave from UC Berkeley since 1996 as Royal Society Research Professor in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at Cambridge University, is due to return to campus in 1999.

		Richard Ewen Borcherds (born November 29, 1959) is a British mathematician specializing in lattices, number theory, group theory, and infinite-dimensional algebras.
		Borcherds then used this, and methods from string theory, to prove the Conway-Norton conjecture, relating the monster to the coefficients of the q-expansion of the j invariant.
		The result was not only a great increase in understanding of the monster group, a very large finite simple group whose structure was previously not well-understood, but tied the monster to various aspects of mathematics and mathematical physics.

		Borcherds is well-known for her actioning connecting the position of finite groups with supplementary locations in mathematics.
		Borcherds second childhood ago used this, performances from string theory, to turn ruled out the Conway-Norton conjecture, relating the brute to the coefficients of the q-expansion of the j invariant.
		In her teens Borcherds was ranked as of the largest propitious chess pros in the UK, but he drifted far inoperative from chess.

	Richard Borcherds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was born in Cape Town and educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham and Cambridge University, where he studied under John Horton Conway.
		In particular he invented the notion of vertex algebras, which Igor Frenkel, James Lepowsky and Arne Meurman used to constuct an infinite-dimensional graded algebra acted on by the monster group.

	Monstrous moonshine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It turns out that lying behind monstrous moonshine is a certain string theory having the Monster group as symmetries; the conjectures made by Conway and Norton were proven by Richard Ewen Borcherds in 1992 using the no-ghost theorem from string theory and the theory of vertex operator algebras and generalized Kac-Moody superalgebras.
		Borcherds won the Fields medal for his work, and more connections between M and the j-function were subsequently discovered.
		A vertex algebra V is constructed that is a graded algebra affording the moonshine representations on M, and it is verified that the monster module has a vertex algebra structure invariant under the action of M.
