Abstract: Let $gg$ be a simple, finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra, and let $V^k(gg)$ denote the universal affine vertex algebra associated to $gg$ at level $k$. The Cartan involution on $gg$ lifts to an involution on $V^k(gg)$, and we denote by $V^k(gg{)}^{mathbb{Z}_2}$ the orbifold, or fixed-point subalgebra, under this involution. Our main result is an explicit minimal strong finite generating set for $V^k(gg{)}^{mathbb{Z}_2}$ for generic values of $k$. In the case $gg=gsg{l}_2$, we also determine the set of nongeneric values of $k$, where this set does not work.
