The exceptional affine Dynkin diagrams as stars #
The exceptional simply-laced affine Dynkin diagrams are three-armed stars. This file identifies
the arm-coordinate numbering of TauCeti.AffineDynkinType.graph with the canonical star indices
used by TauCeti.starCartanMatrix:
affine E₆ = T₃,₃,₃, affine E₇ = T₂,₄,₄, affine E₈ = T₂,₃,₆.
The parameters in TauCeti.StarIndex count vertices beyond the centre, so the corresponding arm
vectors are ![2, 2, 2], ![1, 3, 3], and ![1, 2, 5]. The explicit equivalences below send the
star centre to affine node 0 and number every arm outwards. They identify both the generalized
Cartan matrices and their diagram graphs, allowing results about stars to be applied directly to
the affine exceptional types.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.AffineDynkinType.starIndexEquivE6,starIndexEquivE7, andstarIndexEquivE8are the explicit relabellings from the three canonical star index types to the affine node types.TauCeti.AffineDynkinType.starGraphIsoE6,starGraphIsoE7, andstarGraphIsoE8identify the corresponding star diagrams with the affine exceptional diagrams.

The arm-coordinate relabelling from the star T₃,₃,₃ to affine E₆. It sends the
centre to node 0 and sends the vertices on arms i = 0, 1, 2, in order away from the centre, to
1, 2, to 3, 4, and to 5, 6, respectively.

Cartan matrix descriptions #
Affine E₆ is the star T₃,₃,₃: after the explicit arm-coordinate relabelling,
its generalized Cartan matrix is the canonical star matrix with three arms of length two beyond
the centre.
Affine E₇ is the star T₂,₄,₄: after the explicit arm-coordinate relabelling,
its generalized Cartan matrix is the canonical star matrix with arms of lengths one, three and
three beyond the centre.
Affine E₈ is the star T₂,₃,₆: after the explicit arm-coordinate relabelling,
its generalized Cartan matrix is the canonical star matrix with arms of lengths one, two and five
beyond the centre.
