Coxeter-Dynkin Diagram


A labeled graph whose nodes are indexed by the generators of a Coxeter group having (P_i,P_j) as an graph edge labeled by M_(ij) whenever M_(ij)>2, where M_(ij) is an element of the Coxeter matrix. Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams are used to visualize Coxeter groups. A Coxeter-Dynkin diagram is associated with each rational double point (Fischer 1986), and a Coxeter diagram is sufficient to characterize the algebra of the group.
