Abstract

We consider certain E_n-type root lattices embedded within the standard Lorentzian lattice ℤⁿ⁺¹ (3 ≤ n ≤ 8) and study their discrete geometry from the point of view of del Pezzo surface geometry. The lattice ℤⁿ⁺¹ decomposes as a disjoint union of affine hyperplanes which satisfy a certain periodicity. We introduce the notions of line vectors, rational conic vectors, and rational cubics vectors and their relations to E-polytopes. We also discuss the relation between these special vectors and the combinatorics of the Gosset polytopes of type (n - 4)₂₁.
