| contents | $π$-systems are fundamental in the study of Kac-Moody Lie algebras since they arise naturally in the embedding problems. Dynkin introduced them first and showed how they also appear in the classification of semisimple subalgebras of a semisimple Lie algebra. In this article, we explicitly classify the $π$-systems associated to rank $2$ Kac-Moody Lie algebras and prove that in most of the cases they are linearly independent. This classification allows us to determine the root generated subalgebras and which in turn determines all possible Kac-Moody algebras that can be embedded in a rank $2$ Kac-Moody algebra as subalgebras generated by real root vectors. Additionally, following the work of Naito we provide examples illustrating how Borcherds Kac-Moody algebras can also be embedded inside a rank $2$ Kac-Moody algebra. |
