Description
We re-examine previously found cosmological solutions to eleven-dimensional supergravity in the light of the E10-approach to M-theory. We focus on the solutions with non zero electric field determined by geometric configurations (nm,g3), n ≤ 10. We show that these solutions are associated with rank g regular subalgebras of E10, the Dynkin diagrams of which are the (line) incidence diagrams of the geometric configurations. Our analysis provides as a byproduct an interesting class of rank-10 Coxeter subgroups of the Weyl group of E10
