First, we derive an explicit formula for the Poisson bracket of the classical finite W-algebra W^{fin}(g,f), the algebra of polynomial functions on the Slodowy slice associated to a simple Lie algebra g and its nilpotent element f. On the…

We consider the quantum affine vertex algebra $\mathcal{V}_{c}(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$ associated with the rational $R$-matrix, as defined by Etingof and Kazhdan. We introduce certain subalgebras $\textrm{A}_c (\mathfrak{gl}_N)$ of the completed…

We prove that all finite W-algebras associated with nilpotent elements e in a complex semisimple Lie algebra g have finite-dimensional representations. In order to obtain this result we establish a connection between primitive ideals of…

Let U(g,e) be the finite W-algebra associated with a nilpotent element e in a simple Lie algebra g and assume that e is induced from a nilpotent element e_0 in a Levi subalgebra l of g. We show that if the finite W-algebra U(l,e_0) has a…

We extend the notion of semi-infinite cohomology of Lie algebras to include cases where the Lie algebra does not admit a semi-infinite structure but satisfies a mild condition. Our construction clarifies the definition of affine W-algebras…

The property of some finite W algebras to be the commutant of a particular subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra G is used to construct realizations of G. When G=so(4,2), unitary representations of the conformal and Poincare algebras are…
