Dynkin Diagram - Simply Laced

A Dynkin diagram with no multiple edges is called simply laced, as are the corresponding Lie algebra and Lie group. These are the diagrams, and phenomena that such diagrams classify are referred to as an ADE classification. In this case the Dynkin diagrams exactly coincide with Coxeter diagrams, as there are no multiple edges.

Famous quotes containing the words simply and/or laced:

    Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    Time now to pack this humpty-dumpty
    back the frightened way she came
    and run alongnne, and run along now,
    my stomach laced up like a football
    for the game.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
