Finite Dimensional Lie Algebras

The E_n group is similar to the A_n 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 E_n is 9-n.

E₃ is another name for the Lie algebra A₁A₂ of dimension 11, with Cartan determinant 6.

$\left [ \begin{smallmatrix} 2 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{smallmatrix}\right ]$
E₄ is another name for the Lie algebra A₄ of dimension 24, with Cartan determinant 5.

$\left [ \begin{smallmatrix} 2 & -1 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & -1& 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 & 2 \end{smallmatrix}\right ]$
E₅ is another name for the Lie algebra D₅ of dimension 45, with Cartan determinant 4.

$\left [ \begin{smallmatrix} 2 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & -1& 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 2 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -1 & 0 & 2 \end{smallmatrix}\right ]$
E₆ is the exceptional Lie algebra of dimension 78, with Cartan determinant 3.

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)

“Like Freud, Jung believes that the human mind contains archaic remnants, residues of the long history and evolution of mankind. In the unconscious, primordial “universally human images” lie dormant. Those primordial images are the most ancient, universal and “deep” thoughts of mankind. Since they embody feelings as much as thought, they are properly “thought feelings.” Where Freud postulates a mass psyche, Jung postulates a collective psyche.”
—Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
