Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras
The En group is similar to the An group, except the nth node is connected to the 3rd node. So the Cartan matrix appears similar, -1 above and below the diagonal, except for the last row and column, have -1 in the third row and column. The determinant of the Cartan matrix for En is 9-n.
- E3 is another name for the Lie algebra A1A2 of dimension 11, with Cartan determinant 6.
- E4 is another name for the Lie algebra A4 of dimension 24, with Cartan determinant 5.
- E5 is another name for the Lie algebra D5 of dimension 45, with Cartan determinant 4.
- E6 is the exceptional Lie algebra of dimension 78, with Cartan determinant 3.
- E7 is the exceptional Lie algebra of dimension 133, with Cartan determinant 2.
- E8 is the exceptional Lie algebra of dimension 248, with Cartan determinant 1.

Famous quotes containing the words finite, dimensional and/or lie:
“We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“I don’t see black people as victims even though we are exploited. Victims are flat, one- dimensional characters, someone rolled over by a steamroller so you have a cardboard person. We are far more resilient and more rounded than that. I will go on showing there’s more to us than our being victimized. Victims are dead.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
“I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
He turned up his eyes
I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
Holy & meek she cries—
As soon as I went
An angel came.
He wink’d at the thief
And smild at the dame—
And without one word said
Had a peach from the tree
And still as a maid
Enjoy’d the lady.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
