Extended Vogan diagrams

An extended Vogan diagram is an extended Dynkin diagram with a diagram involution, such that the vertices fixed by the involution can be painted or unpainted. Every extended Vogan diagram represents an almost compact real form of some affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra. Two diagrams may represent isomorphic algebras, and in this case we say that the diagrams are equivalent. In this paper, we classify the equivalence classes of extended Vogan diagrams, and provide a complete list of all diagrams within each class. It gives a combinatorial classification of the isomorphic classes of almost compact real forms of the affine Kac–Moody Lie algebras.
