It is still an open problem to determine the conjugacy classes of Borel subalgebras of non-classical type Lie algebras. In this paper, we prove that there are at least 2 conjugacy classes of Borel subalgebras as well as maximal triangulable subalgebras of restricted Cartan type Lie algebras of type W, S and H. We are particularly interested in maximal triangulable subalgebras of [Formula: see text] under some conditions which is called [Formula: see text]-subalgebras (Definition 3.1). We classify the conjugacy classes of [Formula: see text]-subalgebras for [Formula: see text] and determine their representatives. This paper and its sequel [Z. Lin, K. Ou and B. Shu, Geometric Setting of Jacobson–Witt Algebras, preprint] attempt to establish both algebraic and geometric setting for geometric representation theory of [Formula: see text]

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*.
