= Classification of finite crystallographic Dynkin diagrams
The connected <Dynkin diagrams> of finite reduced <crystallographic root systems> are $A_r$, $B_r$, $C_r$, $D_r$, $E_6$, $E_7$, $E_8$, $F_4$ and $G_2$. Bonds encode products of off-diagonal <Cartan integers>; multiple-bond arrows point toward shorter roots. The simply laced branching diagrams have arm lengths $(1,1,r-3)$ for $D_r$ and $(1,2,2)$, $(1,2,3)$, $(1,2,4)$ for the three exceptional $E$ types. The $B$ and $C$ chains have an end double bond, $F_4$ a middle double bond, and $G_2$ a triple bond. This edge weighting is distinct from the vertex labels used to classify nilpotent orbits.
