Abstract
An arithmetic framework for string compactification is described. The approach is exemplified by formulating a strategy that allows to construct geometric compactifications from exactly solvable theories at c = 3. It is shown that the conformal field theoretic characters can be derived from the geometry of space–time, and that the geometry is uniquely determined by the two-dimensional field theory on the worldsheet. The modular forms that appear in these constructions admit complex multiplication, and allow an interpretation as generalized McKay–Thompson series associated to the Mathieu and Conway groups. This leads to a string motivated notion of arithmetic moonshine.
