Given a simple Lie algebra of classical type \(A_l\), \(D_l\) or exceptional type \(E_6\) and an automorphism \(\sigma\) arising from symmetries of the Dynkin diagram, the corresponding twisted loop algebra is denoted by \(L_{\sigma}(g)\). It is known that the category of finite-dimensional representations of \(L_{\sigma}(g)\) is not semisimple, but allows a decomposition as a sum of indecomposable subcategories (blocks). The aim of this work is to analyze the twisted case by adaptation of some methods valid for the untwisted case. Specifically it is proven that there exists a bijective map between the blocks and the equivalence classes obtained on the set of spectral characters.
