COMMENT

This sequence which has n=2 tetrahedron,n=4 cube, n=10 Dodecahedron seems to be very closely related to the exceptional groups in geometric terms. It seems to answer how E8 and E71/2 are related as well. E8*E8 or SO(32) has dimension 496->{18, 32, 48, 496} which is given in Gribbin's book ( The Search for Superstrings, Symmetry and the Theory of Everything, page 171-173)as the unification level of symmetry. This level appears to be very near the E11 of 482 that Landsberg's equation gives.

FORMULA

{a(n),a(n+1),a(n+2),a(n+3) = {m+2,2*m,3*m,2*m*(2*m-1)/2}: m=Floor[n/4]

EXAMPLE

D10->{12, 20, 30, 190}

SO(20) has dimension 190 and D10 has the dodecahedron ( E8 like) polyhedral configuration of: V=12, F=20, E=30

E7 1/2 also has dimension 190.

MATHEMATICA

a = Table[{n + 2, 2*n, 3*n, 2*n*(2*n - 1)/2}, {n, 1, 20}]; Flatten[a]
