= John McKay (mathematician)
{wiki=John_McKay_(mathematician)}
John McKay is a notable mathematician known for his contributions to various areas of mathematics, particularly in number theory, representation theory, and the theory of finite groups. He is perhaps best known for his work on the Conway group and for the McKay correspondence, which explores a deep connection between finite subgroup representations of certain Lie algebras and the geometry of algebraic surfaces. McKay's correspondence highlights a relationship between the representations of finite groups and the structure of algebraic varieties.
