Dynkin diagram

A Dynkin diagram is a visual tool mathematicians use to represent symmetries and relationships in complex algebraic structures called Lie algebras, which are vital in advanced mathematics and theoretical physics. It consists of nodes (points) connected by lines, where each node represents a fundamental element, and the lines show how these elements interact or relate to each other. The diagram’s structure encodes important information about the symmetry and classification of these algebraic objects, helping researchers understand their fundamental properties and how they can be transformed or combined.
