My personal message:
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

People have stars named after them, craters on the moon, even comets...but how about naming a symmetrical object in hyperspace. For a donation of over $10 you can have a new symmetrical object named after you or a friend. A great birthday present. My new book FINDING MOONSHINE (UK) or SYMMETRY (US) narrates the discovery of these new symmetrical objects that have interesting connections with objects in number theory called elliptic curves. Here is the chance to claim one of these groups and have the group named after you. I have created infinitely many of these groups so they won't run out!

A record of the names will be kept at http://findingmoonshine.blogspot.com/ Please leave the name that you would like to give to the group in the comments section. If you would like to give the group of symmetries as a birthday present or to celebrate an anniversary then leave the significant date in the comments column and I will weave the date into the construction of the symmetry group. Please email me to alert me to the fact that you have left a donation. dusautoy@maths.ox.ac.uk

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
