Exceptional Lie algebras | Lie groups | E8 (mathematics)

E8 (mathematics)

In mathematics, E8 is any of several closely related exceptional simple Lie groups, linear algebraic groups or Lie algebras of dimension 248; the same notation is used for the corresponding root lattice, which has rank 8. The designation E8 comes from the Cartan–Killing classification of the complex simple Lie algebras, which fall into four infinite series labeled An, Bn, Cn, Dn, and five exceptional cases labeled G2, F4, E6, E7, and E8. The E8 algebra is the largest and most complicated of these exceptional cases. (Wikipedia).

Calculus 1: Ch 5.1 Derivative of e^x and lnx (5 of 24) What is the number e ?

Visit http://ilectureonline.com for more math and science lectures! In this video I will explain the mathematical definition of e=2.7182818284590... The definition is e=lim(x approaches infinity)[1+(1/x)] raised to the power of x. When x=1 e~2, x=2 e~2.25, x=3 e~2.370, x=4 e~2.441, x=5 e`

What is the mathematical constant e???

In this video, I talk about two ways of "deriving" e and the important of the number! "Why do we study e?" is often over-shadowed by procedural grind, so here we explicitly talk about where it comes from and how it is used. It is important to note that I explained e *without* direct use of

Counting points on the E8 lattice with modular forms (theta functions) | #SoME2

In this video, I show a use of modular forms to answer a question about the E8 lattice. This video is meant to serve as an introduction to theta functions of lattices and to modular forms for those with some knowledge of vector spaces and series. -------------- References: (Paper on MIT

Modular forms: Theta functions in higher dimensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We study theta functions of even unimodular lattices, such as the root lattice of the E8 exceptional Lie algebra. As examples we show that one cannot "her the shape of a drum", and calculate the number of minimal vectors

Complex surfaces 3: Rational surfaces

We give an informal survey of some complex rational surfaces. We first lift a few examples: hypersurfaces of degree at most 3, and the Hirzebruch surfaces which are P1 bundles over P1. Then we discuss the surfaces obtained by blowing up points in the plane in more detail. We sketch how to
