The theory of Vogan diagrams, which are Dynkin diagrams with an overlay of certain additional information, allows one to give a rapid classification of finitedimensional real semisimple Lie algebras and to make use of this classification in practice. This paper develops a corresponding theory of Vog

A Vogan diagram is actually a Dynkin diagram with some additional structure. This paper develops theory of Vogan diagrams for "almost compact" real forms of indecomposable nontwisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. Here, the equivalence classes of Vogan diagrams are in one-one correspondence with the
We give a representation-theoretic interpretation of the sine-Gordon equation using the action of affine Kac-Moody algebra sl 2 on the Weyl algebra. In this setup t-functions become functions in non-commuting variables. The skew Casimir operators that we introduce here, give rise to a hierarchy of p
