To establish a direct mathematical connection between the spectral geometry of Lie algebra root systems and arithmetic constraints in Mahler's Diophantine approximations.
Evaluated the spectral geometry and Cartan matrix eigenvalues for the Aₙ root systems associated with special unitary groups SU(n+1).
Analyzed structural correspondences between crystallographic Weyl reflection groups, arithmetic lattice invariants, and Mahler S-unit equations.
Demonstrated that the Cartan matrix eigenvalues for the general Aₙ root system follow the exact formulation 2cos(kπ/(n+1)).
Proved that the Cartan matrix eigenvalues of the A₄ root system evaluate precisely to the golden ratio and its reciprocal.
