The [[algebraic]] [[symbol]]s used by [[Lacan]], which appear principally in the [[matheme]]s, [[schema l]] and the [[graph of desire]], are listed below, together with their most common [[meaning]].
However, it is important to [[remember ]] that the [[symbol]]s 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]].

! Symbol !! [[Translation]]
|-
| '''A''' || the [[big Other]]
| '''Π''' || the [[real]] [[phallus]]
|-
| '''Φ''' || the [[symbolic]] [[phallus]] [upper-[[case ]] phi]
|-
| '''(-φ)''' || [[castration ]] [lower-case phi]
| '''e''' || the [[enunciation]]
|-
| '''V''' || the will-to-[[enjoy ]] (''volonté de jouissance'')

The [[difference ]] between upper- and lower-case [[symbol]]s, the difference between italicised and non-italicised [[symbol]]s, 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]].
