Coxeter-Dynkin diagram
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams
Etymology: After mathematicians H. S. M. Coxeter and Eugene Dynkin.
Senses: examples: text: A Coxeter-Dynkin diagram encodes the information in a Coxeter matrix, which in turn encodes the presentation of a Coxeter group.
text: Vertices of a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram represent generators of the corresponding Coxeter group. The generators (algebraic) in turn correspond to the reflecting hyperplanes (geometric). A pair of vertices which are not linked by an edge correspond to a pair of commuting generators. An unnumbered edge between a pair of vertices means that the braid relation between the corresponding generators has length three (e.g., aba = bab if the generators are a and b). An edge numbered ≥4 means that the braid relation between the corresponding generators has a length equal to that number. For example, if the edge is numbered 4 then the braid relation is cdcd = dcdc if the generators are c and d. If a set of edges form a cycle then the Coxeter group can be shown to be infinite. If a tree in a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram has more than one numbered edge then the Coxeter group can be shown to be infinite. There are a few more such rules, which ensure that finite Coxeter groups have Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams with relatively simple shapes.
text: Let 𝒬 be an indecomposable root lattice and let Γ denote the Coxeter-Dynkin diagram of the underlying root system Δ.
