    I have added pointer to

    to the entries 7-sphere, ADE classification, Freund-Rubin compactification.

    This article proves the neat result that the finite subgroups Γ\Gamma of SO(8)SO(8) such that S 7/ΓS^7/\Gamma is smooth and spin and has at least four Killing spinors has an ADE classification. The Γ\Gammas are the the “binary” versions of the symmetries of the Platonic solids.

    I added some more material to 7-sphere, mostly on exotic smooth structures.

    I mentioned that these exotic spheres are called Brieskorn manifolds or spheres and corrected a typo (z 42z^{42} – !)

    Added statement of the canonical (nearly parallel) G 2G_2-structure on the 7-sphere – here.
