On the Dynkin index of a principal mathfrak{sl}₂-subalgebra
read the original abstract
Let $g$ be a simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The goal of this note is to prove a closed formula for the Dynkin index of a principal $sl_2$-subalgebra of $g$. The key step in the proof uses the "strange formula" of Freudenthal--de Vries. As an application, we (1) compute the Dynkin index any simple $g$-module regarded as $sl_2$-module and (2) obtain an identity connecting the exponents of $g$ and the dual Coxeter numbers of both $g$ and the Langlands dual $g^\vee$.

Intersection Bounds for BPS Strings in Six-Dimensional Supergravity
Using a lattice Zariski decomposition of the gravitational charge and E8 current-algebra embeddings, the paper bounds previously uncontrolled BPS-string intersections: C_-3·e ≤ 3, C_-2·e ≤ 7, and isolated gauged C_-2·...
