Sep 7, 2021 at 9:09 comment added Roland Bacher Root systems: Four infinite families + exceptions. Regular polytopes: three infinite families plus two exceptions in dimension 3, three exceptions in dimension 4 (and infinitely many exceptions in dimension 2).

Sep 7, 2021 at 8:22 comment added Zach Teitler The Alexander-Hirschowitz theorem: General collections of double points impose independent conditions on homogeneous forms, with a known list of exceptions. Equivalently, every secant variety of a Veronese variety has expected dimension, with a known list of exceptions. Apart from quadrics, there are 4 exceptions.

Sep 7, 2021 at 0:30 comment added Robin Saunders @SamHopkins Thanks. I did search for similar questions, but there are many ways to word the concept, which makes those harder to find. I also didn't think to check math.stackexchange, which was an oversight. I'm happy for this to be closed if that's what others think best - I think the wording's a little more specific than the other MO question, but the stackexchange one has quite a few good answers.
Sep 7, 2021 at 0:30 comment added Alexandre Eremenko Classification of finite simple groups is a notable example. Classification of finite subgroups of $SL(2,C)$ or $SO(3)$ has the same feature: 2 infinite series and few sporadic examples.

Sep 7, 2021 at 0:19 comment added Sam Hopkins Someone asked a very similar question here a few months ago that was closed; also, a similar question on Math Stackexchange: math.stackexchange.com/questions/186103/…
