We establish a correspondence between generalized quiver gauge theories in
four dimensions and congruence subgroups of the modular group, hinging upon the
trivalent graphs which arise in both. The gauge theories and the graphs are
enumerated and their numbers are compared. The correspondence is particularly
striking for genus zero torsion-free congruence subgroups as exemplified by
those which arise in Moonshine. We analyze in detail the case of index 24,
where modular elliptic K3 surfaces emerge: here, the elliptic j-invariants can
be recast as dessins d'enfant which dictate the Seiberg-Witten curves.Comment: 42+1 pages, 5 figures; various helpful comments incorporate
