The algebraic approach to the construction of the reflexive polyhedra that
yield Calabi-Yau spaces in three or more complex dimensions with K3 fibres
reveals graphs that include and generalize the Dynkin diagrams associated with
gauge symmetries. In this work we continue to study the structure of graphs
obtained from CY3​ reflexive polyhedra. We show how some particularly defined
integral matrices can be assigned to these diagrams. This family of matrices
and its associated graphs may be obtained by relaxing the restrictions on the
individual entries of the generalized Cartan matrices associated with the
Dynkin diagrams that characterize Cartan-Lie and affine Kac-Moody algebras.
These graphs keep however the affine structure, as it was in Kac-Moody Dynkin
diagrams. We presented a possible root structure for some simple cases. We
conjecture that these generalized graphs and associated link matrices may
characterize generalizations of these algebras.Comment: 24 pages, 6 figure
