ADE classification

In mathematics, the ADE classification is the complete list of simply laced Lie groups or other mathematical objects satisfying analogous axioms. The list comprises . Here is the algebra of ; is the algebra of , while are three of five exceptional compact Lie algebras.The same classification applies to discrete subgroups of . The orbifold of constructed using each discrete subgroup leads to an ADE-type singularity at the origin.
