Greek indices indicate spacetime coordinates. For some choice of root basis, is the th simple root. This provides a basis for the Cartan subalgebra, allowing it to be identified with . Then the field content is a collection of scalar fields , which are scalar in the sense that they transform trivially under Lorentz transformations of the underlying spacetime. The inner product is the restriction of the Killing form to the Cartan subalgebra. The are integer constants, known as Kac labels or Dynkin labels. The physical constants are the mass and the coupling constant . (en)
