By quantizing the generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction scheme for arbitrary $sl_2$ embeddings we show that a large set $\cal W$ of quantum W algebras can be viewed as (BRST) cohomologies of affine Lie algebras. The set $\cal W$ contains…

We represent Feigin's construction [11] of lattice W algebras and give some simple results: lattice Virasoro and $W_3$ algebras. For simplest case $g=sl(2)$ we introduce whole $U_q(sl(2))$ quantum group on this lattice. We find simplest…

Given a reductive group G, Kostant and Kumar defined a nil Hecke algebra that may be viewed as a degenerate version of the double affine nil Hecke algebra introduced by Cherednik. In this paper, we construct an isomorphism of the spherical…

Simple, or Kleinian, singularities are classified by Dynkin diagrams of type ADE. Let g be the corresponding finite-dimensional Lie algebra, and W its Weyl group. The set of g-invariants in the basic representation of the affine Kac-Moody…

The Brylinski-Kostant filtration on a representation of a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra has interpretations in terms of the algebra, geometry and combinatorics of the representation. Its extension to affine Lie algebras was…

Let $W$ be a finite Coxeter group. We give an algebraic presentation of what we refer to as ``the non-crossing algebra'', which is associated to the hyperplane complement of $W$ and to the cohomology of its Milnor fibre. This is used to…

$W$-algebras are certain algebraic structures associated to a finite dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and a nilpotent element $f$ via Hamiltonian reduction. In this note we give a review of a recent approach to the study of (classical…

In this work, we introduce Urod algebras associated to simply-laced Lie algebras as well as the concept of translation of W-algebras. Both results are achieved by showing that the quantum Hamiltonian reduction commutes with tensoring with…

(Affine) $\mathcal{W}$-algebras are a family of vertex algebras defined by the generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reductions associated with a finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, a nilpotent element $f$ in…

We formulate and prove examples of a conjecture which describes the W-algebras in type A as successive quantum Hamiltonian reductions of affine vertex algebras associated with several hook-type nilpotent orbits. This implies that the affine…

W-algebras of finite type are certain finitely generated associative algebras closely related to the universal enveloping algebras of semisimple Lie algebras. In this paper we prove a conjecture of Premet that gives an almost complete…

In this paper we consider the structure of general quantum W-algebras. We introduce the notions of deformability, positive-definiteness, and reductivity of a W-algebra. We show that one can associate a reductive finite Lie algebra to each…

Given a pair of nilpotent orbits in a simple Lie algebra, one can associate a pair of vertex algebras called affine W-algebras. Under some compatibility conditions on these orbits, we prove that one of these W-algebras can be obtained as…

The article is a contribution to the local theory of geometric Langlands correspondence. The main result is a categorification of the isomorphism between the (extended) affine Hecke algebra, thought of as an algebra of Iwahori bi-invariant…

These are expanded and revised notes for a minicourse entitled "Affine W-algebras", which took place as part of the thematic month "Quantum Symmetries" at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques in Montreal, Canada in October 2022. The first…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simply laced Lie algebra, $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}_1$ the corresponding affine Lie algebra at level one, and $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{g})$ the corresponding Casimir W-algebra. We consider…

A finite W-algebra is an associative algebra constructed from a semisimple Lie algebra and its nilpotent element. In this survey we review recent developments in the representation theory of W-algebras. We emphasize various interactions…

We consider four classes of classical groups over a non-archimedean local field F: symplectic, (special) orthogonal, general (s)pin and unitary. These groups need not be quasi-split over F. The main goal of the paper is to obtain a local…

In this paper, we prove classical affine W-algebras associated to Lie superalgebras (W-superalgebras) can be constructed in two different ways: via affine classical Hamiltonian reductions and via taking quasi-classical limits of quantum…
