The author examines the Kac-Peterson construction [\textit{V. G. Kac} and \textit{D. H. Peterson}, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80, 1778--1782 (1983; Zbl 0512.17008)] of the flag ``variety \(\Gamma F(G)\) of incident elements of the Tits geometry of a group \(G\) associated to a contragredient Lie algebra \(L\) over a field of characteristic zero, considering the possibility that other such flag varieties can arise in the case of infinite Weyl group \(W\). These other flag varieties are associated with such things as the presence of imaginary roots and the existence of ``real cones of the root system that are different from the system of real roots of \(W\). Let \(\overline {\mathfrak g}\) be a complex affine Lie algebra that is a central extension of a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\), with \(\overline {R}\) the root system of \(\overline {\mathfrak g}\). Consider the Tits geometry \(\Gamma (W)\) associated to the Coxeter system \((W, S)\), and the associated set of flags \(\Gamma F(W)\). The main result is concerned with so-called geometric families of subsets of a root system; the definition of this notion takes eight lines of description and eight lines of notation. The result is that three explicitly given sets relative to \(\alpha\in \Gamma F(W)\) form geometric families of subsets. It is conjectured that these three families exhaust all such families in \(\overline {R}\).
