Umbral moonshine

In mathematics, umbral moonshine is a mysterious connection between Niemeier lattices and Ramanujan's mock theta functions. It is a generalization of the Mathieu moonshine phenomenon connecting representations of the Mathieu group M24 with K3 surfaces.

The usage of the term "umbral" in this context is unrelated to the umbral calculus.
