We propose a generalization of a Drinfeld-Sokolov scheme of attaching integrable systems of PDEs to affine Kac-Moody algebras. With every affine Kac-Moody algebra $\gg$ and a parabolic subalgebra $\gp$, we associate two hierarchies of PDEs.…

A new class of isomonodromy equations will be introduced and shown to admit Kac-Moody Weyl group symmetries. This puts into a general context some results of Okamoto on the 4th, 5th and 6th Painleve equations, and shows where such Kac-Moody…
