By a representation of the extended Dynkin diagram we shall mean a list of 5 vector spaces P, E1, E2, E3, E4 over an algebraically closed field K, and 4 linear maps a1, a2, a3, a4 as shown.

The spaces need not be of finite dimension.

In their solution of the 4-subspace problem [6], Gelfand and Ponomarev have classified such representations when the spaces are finite dimensional. A representation like (1) can also be viewed as a module over the K-algebra R4 consisting of all 5 × 5 matrices having zeros off the first row and off the main diagonal.
