Abstract

The problem of uniqueness of universal formulae for (quantum) dimensions of simple Lie algebras is investigated. We present generic functions, which multiplied by a universal (quantum) dimension formula, preserve both its structure and its values at the points from Vogel's table. Connection of some of these functions with geometrical configurations, such as the famous Pappus-Brianchon-Pascal (93)1(9_3)_1 configuration of points and lines, is established. Particularly, the appropriate realizable configuration (14433612)(144_336_{12}) (yet to be found) will provide a symmetric non-uniqueness factor for any universal dimension formula.
