The algebraic symbols used by Lacan, which appear principally in the mathemes, schema l and the graph of desire, are listed below, together with their most common meaning.
However, it is important to remember that the symbols do not always refer to the same concept throughout Lacan's work, but are used in different ways as his work develops.
Therefore some caution should be exercised when referring to the following list of equivalences.
The List of Algebraic Symbols
Typographic Details
The typographic details and diacritics are extremely important in Lacanian algebra.
The difference between upper- and lower-case symbols, the difference between italicised and non-italicised symbols, the use of the apostrophe, the minus sign, and subscripts; all these details play their part in the algebraic system.
For example the upper-case letters usually refer to the symbolic order, whereas the lower-case letters usually refer to the imaginary.
The use of the bar is also important.
