I got something from a "Differential Geometry" book last night!
http://www.amazon.com/Differential-Geometry-Heinrich-W-Guggenheimer/dp/0486=
634337/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1250868201&sr=8-1
New kind of variable Cartan matrix ( not the kind in Lie algebras)
from differential geometry:
Rotation matrix as O(2):
m[t_] = Cos[t]*{{1, 0}, {0, 1}} + Sin[t]*{{0, 1}, {-1, 0}}
Cartan matrix defined in my new book;
FullSimplify[D[m[t], {t, 1}].Inverse[m[t]], Trig -> True]={{0, 1}, {-1, 0=
}}
Two inventions last night:
1) diaxial rotation: (Using Cos[t+2*Pi/3] instead of Sin[t])
m[t_] = Cos[t]*{{1, 0}, {0, 1}} + Cos[t + 2*Pi/3]*{{0, 1}, {-1, 0}}
The new Cartan matrix of it:
c[t_] = D[m[t], {t, 1}].Inverse[m[t]]
2) the transform of the diaxial ellipse by this Cartan matrix:
ParametricPlot[c[t].{Cos[t], Cos[t + 2*
    Pi/3]}, {t, -Pi, Pi}, AspectRatio -> Automatic]
The result is a curve I call a double Limacon (two loops inside):

Mathematica:
m[t_] = Cos[t]*{{1, 0}, {0, 1}} + Cos[t + 2*Pi/3]*{{0, 1}, {-1, 0}}
ParametricPlot[{Cos[t], Cos[t +
      2*Pi/3]}, {t, -Pi, Pi}, AspectRatio -> Automatic]
ParametricPlot[m[t].{Cos[t], Cos[t + 2*Pi/3]}, {t, -Pi, Pi}, AspectRatio ->
    Automatic]
c[t_] = D[m[t], {t, 1}].Inverse[m[t]]

    FullSimplify[c[t].{Cos[t], Cos[t + 2*Pi/3]}]
ParametricPlot[c[t].{Cos[t], Cos[t +
      2*Pi/3]}, {t, -Pi, Pi}, AspectRatio -> Automatic]
