The fusion of two Mirkovic-Vilonen cycles is a degeneration of their product, defined using the Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian. In this paper, we put in place a conceptually elementary approach to computing this product in type $A$. We do…

We classify the nilpotent orbits in a simple Lie algebra for which the restriction of the adjoint quotient map to a Slodowy slice is the universal Poisson deformation of its central fibre. This generalises work of Brieskorn and Slodowy on…

In this paper we study the finite W-algebra for the queer Lie superalgebra Q(n) associated with the non-regular even nilpotent coadjoint orbits in the case when the corresponding nilpotent element has Jordan blocks each of size l. We prove…

We define algebraic group analogues of the Slodowy transversal slices to adjoint orbits in a complex semisimple Lie algebra g. The new slices are transversal to the conjugacy classes in an algebraic group G with Lie algebra g. These slices…

We construct a non-trivial homomorphism from the Guay's affine Yangian associated with $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}(n)$ to the universal enveloping algebra of the $W$-algebra associated with a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m+n)$ and its nilpotent…

We utilise SUSY quiver gauge theories to compute properties of Slodowy slices; these are spaces transverse to the nilpotent orbits of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. We analyse classes of quiver theories, with Classical gauge and flavour…

We investigate (twisted) rings of differential operators on the resolution of singularities of a particular irreducible component of the (Zarisky) closure of the minimal orbit $\bar O_{\mathrm{min}}$ of $\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}$, intersected…

W-algebras are a class of non-commutative algebras related to the classical universal enveloping algebras. They can be defined as a subquotient of U(g) related to a choice of nilpotent element e and compatible nilpotent subalgebra m. The…

For the quantum algebra U_q(gl(n+1)) in its reduction on the subalgebra U_q(gl(n)) an explicit description of a Mickelsson-Zhelobenko reduction Z-algebra Z_q(gl(n+1),gl(n)) is given in terms of the generators and their defining relations.…

We introduce a new family of affine $W$-algebras associated with the centralizers of arbitrary nilpotent elements in $\mathfrak{gl}_N$. We define them by using a version of the BRST complex of the quantum Drinfeld--Sokolov reduction. A…

Let g be a simple Lie algebra, with fixed Borel subalgebra b and with Weyl group W. Expanding on previous work of Fan and Stembridge in the simply laced case, this note aims to study the fully commutative elements of W, and their…

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…

We consider the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of a simple, simply connected algebraic group over a field of large positive characteristic. For each nilpotent orbit $\mathcal{O} \subseteq \mathfrak{g}$ we choose a representative $e\in…

We show an algebra morphism between Yangians and some finite W-algebras. This correspondence is nicely illustrated in the framework of the Non Linear Schrodinger hierarchy. For such a purpose, we give an explicit realization of the Yangian…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra with a non-degenerate supersymmetric even invariant bilinear form, $f$ a nilpotent element in the even part of $\mathfrak{g}$, $\Gamma$ a good grading of $\mathfrak{g}$ for…

We show that one can construct a classical affine W-algebra via a classical BRST complex. This definition clarifies that classical affine W-algebras can be considered as quasi-classical limits of quantum affine W-algebras. We also give a…

Let $P_J$ be the standard parabolic subgroup of $SL_n$ obtained by deleting a subset $J$ of negative simple roots, and let $P_J = L_JU_J$ be the standard Levi decomposition. Following work of the first author, we study the quantum analogue…

We study the algebra of Wilson line operators in three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric U(M) gauge theories with a Higgs phase related to a complex Grassmannian Gr(M,N), and its connection to K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants for Gr(M,N).…

We establish a novel connection between the minimal nilpotent orbit $\mathbb{O}_n$ in $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ and the minimal nilpotent orbit closure $\overline{\mathbf{O}}_n$ in $\mathfrak{so}_{2n+2}$, which differs from the shared-orbit…

We realise the cohomology ring of a flag manifold, more generally the coinvariant algebra of an arbitrary finite Coxeter group W, as a commutative subalgebra of a certain Nichols algebra in the Yetter-Drinfeld category over W. This gives a…
