Abstract

The deformed W\mathcal W algebras of type A\textsf{A} have a uniform description in terms of the quantum toroidal gl1\mathfrak{gl}_1 algebra E\mathcal E. We introduce a comodule algebra K\mathcal K over E\mathcal E which gives a uniform construction of basic deformed W\mathcal W currents and screening operators in types B,C,D\textsf{B},\textsf{C},\textsf{D} including twisted and supersymmetric cases. We show that a completion of algebra K\mathcal K contains three commutative subalgebras. In particular, it allows us to obtain a commutative family of integrals of motion associated with affine Dynkin diagrams of all non-exceptional types except D+1(2)\textsf{D}^{(2)}_{\ell+1}. We also obtain in a uniform way deformed finite and affine Cartan matrices in all classical types together with a number of new examples, and discuss the corresponding screening operators.
