We study theories with W-algebra symmetries and their relation to WZNW models on (super-)groups. Correlation functions of the WZNW models are expressed in terms of correlators of CFTs with W-algebra symmetry. The symmetries of the theories…
We investigate a relationship between a particular class of two-dimensional integrable non-linear $\sigma$-models and variations of Hodge structures. Concretely, our aim is to study the classical dynamics of the $\lambda$-deformed $G/G$…
We explore the connection between super $\mathcal{W}$-algebras ($\mathcal{SW}$-algebras) and $\mathrm{G}$-structures with torsion. The former are realised as symmetry algebras of strings with $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetry on the…
In this paper we study arbitrary $W$ algebras related to embeddings of $sl_2$ in a Lie algebra $g$. We give a simple formula for all $W$ transformations, which will enable us to construct the covariant action for general $W$ gravity. It…
We study W-algebras obtained by quantum Hamiltonian reduction of $sl(Mn)$ associated to the $sl(2)$ embedding of rectangular type. The algebra can be realized as the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravity with $M \times M$ matrix valued…
Bialkowski, Erdmann and Skowronski classified those indecomposable self-injective algebras for which the Nakayama shift of every (non-projective) simple module is isomorphic to its third syzygy. It turned out that these are precisely the…
We develop and collect techniques for determining Hochschild cohomology of skew group algebras S(V)#G and apply our results to graded Hecke algebras. We discuss the explicit computation of certain types of invariants under centralizer…
We discuss an analog of the AGT relation in five dimensions. We define a q-deformation of the beta-ensemble which satisfies q-W constraint. We also show a relation with the Nekrasov partition function of 5D SU(N) gauge theory with N_f=2N.
In this article we define $G$-algebras, that is, graded algebras on which a reductive group $G$ acts as gradation preserving automorphisms. Starting from a finite dimensional $G$-module $V$ and the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[V]$, it is…
We develop an invariant deformation theory, in a form accessible to practice, for affine schemes $W$ equipped with an action of a reductive algebraic group $G$. Given the defining equations of a $G$-invariant subscheme $X \subset W$, we…
We define Drinfeld orbifold algebras as filtered algebras deforming the skew group algebra (semi-direct product) arising from the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring. They simultaneously generalize Weyl algebras, graded (or…
This monograph, along with a self-consistent presentation of the theory of q-W-algebras including the construction of algebraic group analogues of Slodowy slices, contains a description of q-W-algebras in terms of Zhelobenko type operators…
W-algebra (of finite type) W is a certain associative algebra associated with a semisimple Lie algebra, say g, and its nilpotent element, say e. The goal of this paper is to study the category O for W introduced by Brundan, Goodwin and…
We obtain Schur-Weyl dualities in which the algebras, acting on both sides, are semigroup algebras of various symmetric inverse semigroups and their deformations.
We investigate the algebraic structure of integrable hierarchies that, we propose, underlie models of $W$-gravity coupled to matter. More precisely, we concentrate on the dispersionless limit of the topological subclass of such theories, by…
Let ${\mathtt{k}}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $n, m$ coprime positive integers. Let ${\stackrel{{\rm o}}{{\mathfrak{g}}}}$ be the Lie superalgebra ${\mathfrak{gl}}(n|m)$ with root system $\Delta$. Using…
We define and study a class of $\mathcal{N}=2$ vertex operator algebras $\mathcal{W}_{\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}}$ labelled by complex reflection groups. They are extensions of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ super Virasoro algebra obtained by introducing…
For a smooth surface $S$, Porta-Sala defined a categorical Hall algebra generalizing previous work in K-theory of Zhao and Kapranov-Vasserot. We construct semi-orthogonal decompositions for categorical Hall algebras of points on $S$. We…
We argue that the six-dimensional (2,0) superconformal theory defined on M \times C, with M being a four-manifold and C a Riemann surface, can be twisted in a way that makes it topological on M and holomorphic on C. Assuming the existence…
We define the completion of an associative algebra $A$ in a set $M=\{M_1,\dots,M_r\}$ of $r$ right $A$-modules in such a way that if $\mathfrak a\subseteq A$ is an ideal in a commutative ring $A$ the completion $A$ in the (right) module…
