Abstract: Let mathfrakg be the derived subalgebra of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra of finite type or affine type, mu a diagram automorphism of mathfrakg and L(mathfrakg,mu) the loop algebra of mathfrakg associated to mu. In this paper, by using the vertex algebra technique, we provide a general construction of current type presentations for the universal central extension widehatmathfrakg[mu] of L(mathfrakg,mu). The construction contains the classical limit of Drinfeld's new realization for (twisted and untwisted) quantum affine algebras ([Dr]) and the Moody-Rao-Yokonuma presentation for toroidal Lie algebras ([MRY]) as special examples. As an application, when mathfrakg is of simply-laced type, we prove that the classical limit of the mu-twisted quantum affinization of the quantum Kac-Moody algebra associated to mathfrakg introduced in [CJKT1] is the universal enveloping algebra of widehatmathfrakg[mu].
