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 use the newly developed stacky prismatic technology of Drinfeld and Bhatt-Lurie to give a uniform, group-theoretic construction of smooth stacks $\mathrm{BT}^{G,\mu}_{n}$ attached to a smooth affine group scheme $G$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple complex Lie algebra, and let $W$ be a finite subgroup of $\mathbb{C}$-algebra automorphisms of the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g})$. We show that the derived category of $U(\mathfrak{g})^W$-modules…

The quantum loop algebra $U_{v}(\mathcal{L}\mathfrak{g})$ was defined as a generalization of the Drinfeld's new realization of the quantum affine algebra to the loop algebra of any Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. It has been shown by…

There is a relatively well understood class of deformable W-algebras, resulting from Drinfeld-Sokolov (DS) type reductions of Kac-Moody algebras, which are Poisson bracket algebras based on finitely, freely generated rings of differential…

This paper provides a unified framework resolving two long-standing problems: the intrinsic construction of global quantum gauge groups for braided tensor $C^*$-categories (the Doplicher-Roberts problem) and the direct proof of the…

By exploring the description of chiral blocks in terms of co-invariants, a derivation of the Verlinde formula for WZW models is obtained which is entirely based on the representation theory of affine Lie algebras. In contrast to existing…

We analyze the algebraic structures of G--Frobenius algebras which are the algebras associated to global group quotient objects. Here G is any finite group. These algebras turn out to be modules over the Drinfeld double of the group ring…

Based on the intrinsic connection between Gaussian Free Fields and the Heisenberg vertex algebra, we study some aspects of the correspondence between probability theory and $W$-algebras. This is first achieved by providing a construction of…

We first compute the denominator formulas for quantum affine algebras of all exceptional types. Then we prove the isomorphisms among Grothendieck rings of categories $C_Q^{(t)}$ $(t=1,2,3)$, $\mathscr{C}_{\mathscr{Q}}^{(1)}$ and…

Reductive W-algebras which are generated by bosonic fields of spin-1, a single spin-2 field and fermionic fields of spin-3/2 are classified. Three new cases are found: a `symplectic' family of superconformal algebras which are extended by…

We study connections between the ring of symmetric functions and the characters of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. We study two families of representations of the symplectic and orthogonal Lie…

Wakimoto modules are representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras in Fock modules over infinite-dimensional Heisenberg algebras. In these lectures we present the construction of the Wakimoto modules from the point of view of the vertex…

We introduce a generalization of degenerate affine Hecke algebra, called wreath Hecke algebra, associated to an arbitrary finite group G. The simple modules of the wreath Hecke algebra and of its associated cyclotomic algebras are…

Elements of a global operator approach to the WZWN theory for compact Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus $g$ are given. Sheaves of representations of affine Krichever-Novikov algebras over a dense open subset of the moduli space of Riemann…

We establish a degeneration isomorphism between quantum toroidal algebras and untwisted affine Yangians, valid for all untwisted affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. Specifically, we prove that the affine Yangian $Y_\hbar(\mathfrak{g})$ is…

The affine Yangian of $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ is isomorphic to the universal enveloping algebra of $\mathcal{W}_{1+\infty}$ and can serve as a building block in the construction of new vertex operator algebras. In [1], a two-parameter family…

New realizations of finite W algebras are constructed by relaxing the usual constraint conditions. Then, finite W algebras are recognized in the Heisenberg quantization recently proposed by Leinaas and Myrheim, for a system of two identical…

With the aim of completing the previous study by A. Or{\l}owski and the author concerning intertwining maps between induced representations and conjugation representation, termed here weighted class operators, we compute the latter…

For any given algebra of local observables in Minkowski space an associated scaling algebra is constructed on which renormalization group (scaling) transformations act in a canonical manner. The method can be carried over to arbitrary…
