Finally we make some remarks about the relevance of elliptic cohomology for the “Monster moonshine” phenomena.

This 2-vector bundle encodes the information about the maximal category of DDD-branes associated to the open closed topological field theories defined by the Frobenius algebras TxMT_{x} MTxM. In particular this construction answers a conjecture of Graeme Segal in~\cite{segal07:_what_is_ellip_objec}. We also explain the relation of the labels of the DDD-branes to Azumaya algebras and twisted vector bundles on the spectral cover SSS of MMM.

Matrix coefficients of the Stone-von Neumann representation are preserved by these new multiplications on the algebra of functions on the Heisenberg group. Some of the new quantizations provide also a new multiplication in the algebra of theta functions; we obtain in this way Sklyanin algebras.

Then we give a description of &Y*(E(N,G) x ,vX) @ Z[l/lGl], where N is a normal subgroup of G, E(N, G) is the universal N-free G space and X is any finite G-CW complex where N acts freely. We explain how some of the results of Hopkins-Kuhn-Ravenel can be recovered for our results.

An analogue notion, two vector bundles, entered in topology through the work of Bass, Dundas, Rognes and Richter. They provide a rst step into the geometric interpretation of elliptic cohomology. Two vec- tor bundles are dened in terms of cocycles. Graeme Segal suggested that two vector bundles should be related to the moduli space of topological eld theories. The moduli space of closed topological eld theories is described by Frobenius manifolds. We shall show that a massive Frobenius manifold carries a natural geometrically dened two vector bundle of rank one. This bundle encodes the information about the Brane sector in a topological eld theory. We shall describe a generalized connection in the two vector bun- dle and show that this structure describes a solution of the open WDVV equations.
