Classification of "homogeneous" submanifolds of ℝⁿ
I define a subset $M$ of $\mathbb R^n$ to be a "homogeneous Euclidean manifold" if:
it is a closed connected smooth submanifold of $\mathbb R^n$,
for every $p, q$ in $M$, there is a ...

p-adic analogue of classification of irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces?
For Riemannian symmetric spaces, we have a nice result that the simply-connected ones are products of irreducible symmetric spaces, of which we have a list of ten infinite families and some ...

dimension vector of indecomposable module over preprojective algebra
It is well-known that there are finitely many indecomposable module over the preprojective algebra associated to a quiver $Q$ if and only if $Q=A_2,A_3,A_4$ and tame type for $A_5$ and wild for others....

equivariant stable class of quaternionic Hopf fibration in RO(G)-degrees of ADE-type
Does the quaternionic Hopf fibration possibly represent a non-torsion element in the $G$-equivariant stable homotopy groups of spheres, for $G$ a finite subgroup of $SO(3)$ and in RO(G)-degree being ...

Symmetries of module categories over the category of representations of quantum $sl(2)$
The category $\mathcal{C}_l$ of tilting modules of the quantum group $U_q(sl_2)$ quotiented out by the modules of zero quantum dimension has a natural structure as a semisimple monoidal category when ...

Kodaira classification and the McKay correspondence
Kodaira's table of singular fibers has a singular fiber
for each of $\tilde{A}_n$, $\tilde{D}_n$, $\tilde{E}_6$, $\tilde{E}_7$, and $\tilde{E}_8$; these are chains or cycles of (-2)-curves connected ...

Blowing up a projective surface
Let $X$ be a smooth degree $d$ ($d>5$) surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$. We now blow up $X$ at a point, embed it in some projective space, and and consider a projection of it into $\mathbb{P}^3$. The ...

Du Val singularity of type G=A,D,E and "small" representations of G
We all know that a simple singularity $W_G(x_1,x_2,x_3)=0$ of type G=A,D,E has the following nice deformation involving the Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak{h}$ of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of $G$. ...

Integral positive definite quadratic forms and graphs
Let me start with a question for which I know the answer. Consider a symmetric integral $n\times n$ matrix $A=(a_{ij})$ such that $a_{ii}=2$, and for $i\ne j$ one has $a_{ij}=0$ or $-1$. One can ...

Classification of finite groups of isometries
Consider the problem of classifying the finite groups of isometries of $\mathbb{R}^n$.
For $n=2$ it is cyclic and dihedral groups.
For $n=3$ they are well known, probably from Kepler and are related ...

Does the quantum subgroup of quantum su_2 called E_8 have anything at all to do with the Lie algebra E_8?
The ordinary McKay correspondence relates the subgroups of SU(2) to the affine ADE Dynkin diagrams. The correspondence is that the vertices correspond to irreducible representations of the subgroup, ...

ADE type Dynkin diagrams
The ADE type Dynkin diagrams seem to come up in seemingly different areas of math. Two places they come up are:
(1) Classification of simply laced complex simple lie algebras.
(2) Finite subgroups ...
