Abstract

It is pointed out that affine Lie algebras appear to be the natural mathematical structure underlying the notion of integrability for two-dimensional systems. Their role in the construction and classification of 2D integrable systems is discussed. The super- symmetric case will be particularly enphasized. The fundamental examples will be outlined.
