A few years ago the 'hidden symmetries’ of the soliton equations had been identified as affine Lie groups, also known as loop groups. The first extensive use of the representation theory of affine Lie algebras for the soliton equations have been developed in a series of works by mathematicians of the Kyoto school. We will review some of their results and develop them further on the basis of the representation theory. Thus an orbit of the simplest affine Lie group SL(2, C)^ in the fundamental representation V will provide the solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, and similarly the solutions of the sine-Gordon equation will come from an orbit of the group (SL(2, C) x SL(2, C)) ^ in V x V*.

We study ideals generated by singular vectors in vertex operator algebras associated with representations of affine Lie algebras of typesAandC. We find new explicit formulas for singular vectors in these vertex operator algebras at integer and half-integer levels. These formulas generalize the expressions for singular vectors from Adamović (1994). As a consequence, we obtain a new family of vertex operator algebras for which we identify the associated Zhu's algebras. A connection with the representation theory of Weyl algebras is also discussed.

We study the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie algebras and the free field realization of the associated W algebra. For the nonsimply laced case this reduction does not agree with the usual coset construction of the W minimal model. In particular, we find that the coset model [Formula: see text] can be obtained through the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of the affine Lie superalgebra B(0, n)(1). To show this we also construct the Feigin-Fuchs representation of affine Lie superalgebras.
