There is an embedding of affine vertex algebras $V^k(\mathfrak{gl}_n) \hookrightarrow V^k(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})$, and the coset $\mathcal{C}^k(n) = \text{Com}(V^k(\mathfrak{gl}_n), V^k(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}))$ is a natural generalization of…

The affine Yangian of $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ is known to be isomorphic to ${\cal W}_{1+\infty}$, the $W$-algebra that characterizes the bosonic higher spin -- CFT duality. In this paper we propose defining relations of the Yangian that are…

In 2D conformal quantum field theory, we continue a systematic study of W-algebras with two and three generators and their highest weight representations focussing mainly on rational models. We review the known facts about rational models…

We show that some finite W-superalgebras based on gl(M|N) are truncation of the super-Yangian Y(gl(M|N)). In the same way, we prove that finite W-superalgebras based on osp(M|2n) are truncation of the twisted super-Yangians Y(gl(M|2n))^{+}.…

$W$-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…

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…

Let $e$ be an arbitrary even nilpotent element in the general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{M|N}$ and let $\mathcal{W}_e$ be the associated finite $W$-superalgebra. Let $Y_{m|n}$ be the super Yangian associated to the Lie…

Given a map $\Xi\colon U(\mathfrak{g})\rightarrow A$ of associative algebras, with $U(\mathfrak{g})$ the universal enveloping algebra of a (complex) finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, the restriction functor from…

We construct several quantum coset W-algebras, e.g. sl(2,R)/U(1) and sl(2,R)+sl(2,R) / sl(2,R), and argue that they are finitely nonfreely generated. Furthermore, we discuss in detail their role as unifying W-algebras of Casimir W-algebras.…

We determine the ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric $W_{1+\infty}^{2,2}[\lambda=\frac{1}{4}]$ algebra which is an extension of ${\cal N}=4$ $SO(4)$ superconformal algebra with vanishing central charge. We identify the soft current algebra between…

In development of the started activity on lattice analogues of $W$-algebras, we define the notion of lattice $W_{\infty}$-algebra, accociated with lattice integrable system with infinite set of fields. Various kinds of reduction to lattice…

Universal Drinfeld twists are inner automorphisms which relate the coproduct of a quantum enveloping algebra to the coproduct of the undeformed enveloping algebra. Even though they govern the deformation theory of classical symmetries and…

In this paper a Ward-Fonten\'e differential universal algebra is constructed. In this algebra it is possible to obtain a product $\psi$-rule and a general $\psi$-rule of Leibniz for any calculus on sequences. In particular, the simplicial…

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…

The universal C*-algebras of discrete product systems generalize the Toeplitz- Cuntz algebras and the Toeplitz algebras of discrete semigroups. We consider a semigroup P which is quasi-lattice ordered in the sense of Nica, and, for a…

The basic concepts underlying our analysis of {\it W-algebras} as extended symmetries of integrable systems are summarized. The construction starts from the second hamiltonian structure of ``Generalized Drinfel'd-Sokolov'' hierarchies, and…

By reducing a split $G_2$ Kac-Moody algebra by a non-maximal set of first-class constraints we produce W-algebras which (i) contain fields of negative conformal spin and (ii) are not trivial extensions of canonical W-algebras.

We introduce the notion of a generalized spin representation of the maximal compact subalgebra of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra in order to show that, if defined over a formally real field, every such subalgebra has a non-trivial…

The algebra of linear and quadratic functions of basic observables on the phase space of either the free particle or the harmonic oscillator possesses a finite-dimensional anomaly. The quantization of these systems outside the critical…

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…
