  root system   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Dynkin diagram can be extracted from the root system by choosing a base, that is a subset Δ of Φ which is a basis of V with the special property that every vector in Φ when written in the basis Δ has either all coefficients ≥0 or else all ≤0.
The vertices of the Dynkin diagram correspond to vectors in Δ.
Dynkin diagrams encode the inner product on E in terms of the basis Δ, and the condition that this inner product must be positive definite turns out to be all that is needed to get the desired classification.

Dynkin diagrams are a combinatorial way of representing the imformation in a root system.
Thus Dynkin diagrams are finite graphs, with single, double or triple edges.

 Root system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since Lie groups (and some analogues such as algebraic groups) became used in most parts of mathematics during the twentieth century, the apparently special nature of root systems belies the number of areas in which they are applied.
To every root system is associated a graph (possibly with a specially marked edge) called the Dynkin diagram which is unique up to isomorphism.
Given two root systems with the same Dynkin diagram, we can match up roots, starting with the roots in the base, and show that the systems are in fact the same.

 Material to Scientific Biography
Dynkin's most famous contribution to the theory of Lie algebras was his use of the "Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams" to describe and classify the Cartan matrices of semisimple Lie algebras.
Dynkin's most famous contribution to the theory of Lie groups is, of course, the introduction and use of the notions of simple roots and the corresponding diagrams.
Dynkin discovered the possibility of a purely measure-theoretic approach to this problem, under which the extremal measures are interpreted as measures with trivial behaviour of the trajectories at infinity.

Way back in "week62" I showed how a Dynkin diagram gives a finite reflection group: that is, a finite group of symmetries of n-dimensional Euclidean space, generated by reflections, one for each of the n dots in the diagram, satisfying relations described by the edges in the diagram.
For example, I've already said this Dynkin diagram: o-------o A_2 gives the Coxeter group consisting of symmetries of the equilateral triangle - by which I mean all reflections and rotations.
For example, the Dynkin diagram A_n has n dots in a row like this: o-------o-------o-------o-------o and this gives the symmetry groups of *projective* geometry: the geometry of points, lines, planes, and so on up to dimension n.

The reason this is so fun is that we can also get a group from a Dynkin diagram without choosing a field: the so-called Coxeter group!Amazingly, all sorts of formulas about this Coxeter group are special cases of formulas about simple algebraic groups over F_{q}.
In both cases, these incidence geometries have one type of geometrical figure for each dot in the Dynkin diagram, and one basic incidence relation for each edge.
If you give me a Dynkin diagram and a field, I will give you a simple algebraic group G. If you pick a subset of the dots in this diagram, I will give you a subgroup P of G, called a "parabolic subgroup".

 Citebase - Mirror symmetry and Exact Solution of 4D N=2 Gauge Theories I
In section 8 we give a uniform treatment for quivers based on affine ADE Dynkin diagrams, by studying the mirror of elliptic ADE singularities in 2-complex dimensions (this gives the first derivation for the affine A and D cases and a third derivation for the affine E case as the quiver).
If si denote the Dynkin numbers associated with each node of the Dynkin diagram, and if we denote the i-th 2-cycle class by Ci the 2-cycle class of the elliptic fiber E can be represented by E= s i Ci Note that this is consistent with the fact that E ยท E = 0.
As discussed before an interesting case involves the configuration of the A-groups arranged along the affine ADE Dynkin diagrams, where the rank of the SU gauge group is proportional (with fixed proportionality) to the Dynkin number of the corresponding node.

One of the most striking results in the theory of cluster algebras due to S.Fomin and A.Zelevinsky is the classification of cluster algebras of finite type, which turns out to be identical to the Cartan-Killing classification.
Fomin and Zelevinsky proved that a diagram is of finite type if and only if it is mutation-equivalent to a Dynkin diagram.
The list contains all extended Dynkin diagrams but also has 6 more infinite series, and a substantial number of exceptional diagrams with at most 9 vertices.

The longest line of ten roots in the E11 Dynkin diagram is the A10 used, and is often called the gravity line.
SL(11,R) is made, and then by including the eleventh generator from E11 (the one from the node that sticks out on the Dynkin diagram) this algebra is enlarged to GL(11,R).
The decomposition gives an infinite number of generators, classified by their Dynkin labels, and in particular the Dynkin label of the eleventh root which is called the level.

 Dynkin Digraphs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Dynkin digraph has vertices 1,..., n; whenever c_(ij)<0 there is an edge from i to j labeled by the value -c_(ij).
In the literature, the term Dynkin diagram is used, but we reserve this for a printed display of the Dynkin digraph (or Coxeter graph) corresponding to a finite or affine Coxeter group (see Section Finite and Affine Coxeter Groups below).
A Dynkin digraph has an edge from i to j if, and only if, it has an edge from j to i (although the labels may be different); hence strong and weak connectivity are equivalent for these graphs.

 Classification of d-Complete Posets   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Let's say that a Dynkin diagram is of general type E if it is Y-shaped, has exactly one branch of length 1, and is not of type A. There are 15 classes of possible slant irreducible components.
In all but Classes 1-3, the top tree of each slant irreducible component is of general type E. Each of the 15 classes is further divided into subclasses, and each subclass possesses a unique maximal member.
Each poset in one of the other classes corresponds to a certain especially nice kind of Weyl group element in a simply laced Kac-Moody Weyl group whose Dynkin diagram is of general type E. The order diagrams shown on the following pages are the order diagrams for the unique maximal poset within each class.

While this correction might be important in applications of our work, the results of the paper are not affected by it.
For a large class of such Dynkin diagram automorphisms, we can describe various aspects of these maps in terms of another Kac-Moody algebra, the `orbit Lie algebra'.
In particular, the generating function for the trace of the map on modules, the `twining character', is equal to a character of the orbit Lie algebra.

Abstract: There is a classical bijection between finite subgroups of SL_2(C) and Dynkin diagrams of ADE type.
The classification of finite subgroups of SL_2(C) is essentially based on the classification of symmetry groups of (possibly degenerate) regular polyhedra.
In this talk, starting from a finite subgroup of SL_2(C), we will present and compare two parallel ways of constructing the basic representation of an affine/toroidal Lie algebra whose Dynkin diagram corresponds to the finite group in the classical manner.

Niemeier lattices are usually labeled by the Dynkin diagram of their root systems.
These Dynkin diagrams have rank either 0 or 24, and all of their components have the same Coxeter number.
(The Coxeter number, at least in these cases, is the number of roots divided by the dimension.) There are exactly 24 Dynkin diagrams with these properties, and there turns out to be a unique Niemeier lattice for each of these Dynkin diagrams.
