Elements of finite order (EFO) in Lie groups

introduction

• explicit formulas for the number of conjugacy classes of EFOs in Lie groups
• appears for the number of certain vacua in the quantum moduli space of M-theory compactifications on manifolds of $G_2$ holonomy
• $N(G,m)$ : number of conjugacy classes of $G$ in $E(G,m)$

EFO in unitary groups

$U(n)$

• $N(G,m)= {n+m-1\choose m-1}$

$SU(n)$

• $N(G,m)= \frac{1}{m}{n+m-1\choose m-1}$
