The groups T (the symmetries of the tetrahedron), C (symmetries of the cube) and I (symmetries of the icosahedron) are subgroups of the group of rotations of 3-dimensional space, which is known as SO(3).
This Lie group is the symmetry group of the sphere.
The cyclic group of order n is the symmetry group of a regular n-gon in the plane.

It is the largest of the five exceptional simple Lie groups.
It is also one of the simply laced groups.
This group frequently appears in string theory and supergravity, for example as the U-duality group of supergravity on an eight-torus (a noncompact version), or as a part of the gauge group of the heterotic string (the compact version).

Duray had insulated himself with a cadre of obsessively-loyal men, who would do whatever it was he ordered them to – up to betraying their nation.
We obtained documents from a top-secret informant, General Z, that are copies of a file he claims was passed on to Duray.
The document was laced with highly classified facts that were accurate, so as to create an environment of verisimilitude.

 Monomials and Temperley-Lieb Algebras - Fan, Green (ResearchIndex)
We classify the "fully tight" simply-laced Coxeter groups, that is, the ones whose iji-avoiding Kazhdan--Lusztig basis elements are monomials in the generators Bs i.
We then investigate the basis of the Temperley--Lieb algebra arising from the Kazhdan--Lusztig basis of the associated Hecke algebra, and prove that the basis coincides with the usual (monomial) basis.

The goal of this work is to give a new unified axiomatic approach to the representation theory of Coxeter groups and their Hecke algebras.
For simply laced Coxeter groups, this assumption yields explicit simple matrices, generalizing the Young forms.
For the symmetric groups (and for Weyl groups of type $B$) the resulting representations are completely classified and contain the irreducible ones.

 The Reference Frame: ADE classification, McKay correspondence, and string theory
The inner products are integers, and for a class of groups called the simply-laced groups, there exists a basis of vectors whose squared length is equal to two.
Actually, there are only three new groups because the symmetries of a cube and the symmetries of an octahedron are identical, much like the symmetries of a dodecahedron are identical to the symmetries of an icosahedron.
You obtain another polyhedron B that is dual to A: for example, the number of vertices of A equals the number of faces of B and vice versa, while the numbers of edges of A,B coincide.

In spite of seemingly exclusivist theological beliefs, the group admits a certain latitude by affirming the spiritual unity of all true believers in Christ; Christian humanist strains are also present due to the community's encouragement of both individual and collective forms of musical, literary, and visual artistic expression.

Linear Algebraic Groups is rather different from the existing texts on the subject.

 Retail Think Tank: News
Possibly some retailers, they concluded, wish simply to be seen as ‘concerned’ about ethical issues so that they can continue to enjoy the support of their ethical consumers alongside those shoppers who are less interested.
Their methods will be to respond to customer concerns in a corporate, ‘macro’ approach across their entire supply chain and product range, announcing company-wide strategies laced with words like ‘commitment’, ‘promise’ and ‘guarantee’ that aim to address the organisation’s overall impact across all ranges of ethical issues.
There is real fear of consumer groups and what may make it worse for retailers is that they’re not sure how to protect themselves except by being involved in some way with ethical issues.

As I understand it, he begins with the McKay correspondence between Finite Groups and Lie Groups, and then he uses the example of the 48-dim binary Octahedral Group OD and the 133-dim exceptional Lie Group E7.
This means that the law of conservation of energy is a consequence simply of the form of the equation [and the Bianchi identities].
Kaku says that this is because of the correspondence between the simply laced groups and the finite subgroups of SU(2).

 Hate Groups, "Racism," and the Riverside PD.
The rhetoric and terminology some of these groups are employing mimics perfectly the same invective, for example, that the Palestinian Liberation Organization and HAMAS use against the Israeli nation to promote their own particular political agenda.
Yet, their philosophies are so extreme, their political objectives so incredible and irrational, and their race-based agendas so offensive to the bulk of American society as a whole, that the advancement of their objectives will no doubt quickly meet some substantial opposition, even from within the very communities they purport to represent.

Quite simply, this recent "RATS" incident reveals the level of disrespect that government officials have for the mental autonomy of citizens.
As we advance into the coming technology-saturated decades, it is imperative that we, as individuals and as a society, expressly acknowledge and affirm the right of each individual to have autonomy over his or her mind.

I am interested in quantum groups, a relatively new kind of algebraic structure which can be viewed as a generalization of the ordinary notion of a group and becomes that notion when a certain parameter in the theory tends to zero.
Their study has also led to the resolution of a number of long-standing open problems in ordinary group theory.

 Re: ALE Spaces: Help!
Gamma is a discrete group that identifies some points of the R^4.
The geometry of the ALE space near the core is difficult, smooth and complicated, see the equation (2.1), and it guarantees that the full holonomy group is exactly SU(2) - nothing bigger and nothing smaller.
It follows from my notation that the discrete subgroups of SU(2) admit an ADE classification much like the simply laced Lie groups: they either belong to the infinite A or D families, or they can be of the special types E_6, E_7, E_8.

This provides a unique expression for the Weyl group elements which in turn leads to a presentation of the Weyl group, called a presentation by conjugation.
Using a new notion, called the index, which is an invariant of the extended affine root systems, we show that one of the important features of finite and affine root systems (related to Weyl group) holds for the class of extended affine root systems.
We also show that extended affine Weyl groups (of index zero) are homomorphic images of some indefinite Weyl groups where the homomorphism and its kernel are given explicitly.
