‘Mathieu Moonshine’,
namely the observation that the elliptic genus of K3 shows signs of an
underlying Mathieu M24 group symmetry, will be introduced, exhibiting the
parallels to the more familiar Monstrous Moonshine phenomenon. I will review
how Mathieu Moonshine has now been proven, but that a conceptual and geometric
interpretation of the phenomenon is still missing. I will then explain recent
attempts at uncovering the mircoscopic origin for Mathieu Moonshine.
