Abstract

Let $G$ be a real simple Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We consider additional structures on the Dynkin diagram of the complexification of $\mathfrak{g}$, known as the double Vogan diagrams. They lead to a combinatorial classification of the pseudo-Hermitian symmetric spaces of $G$.
