The Yangian characters (or q-characters) are known to be closely related to the classical W-algebras and to the centers of the affine vertex algebras at the critical level. We make this relationship more explicit by producing families of…

We show that free algebras of the variety of algebras generated by the Witt algebra $W_n$, the left-symmetric Witt algebra $L_n$, and the symplectic Poisson algebra $P_n$ can be described as subalgebras of differential polynomial algebras…

For $N \in\mathbb Z_{\geq 7}$ we show that the simple minimal $\mathcal{W}$-algebra of $\mathfrak{so}_N$ at level minus one is isomorphic to the even subalgebra of the tensor product of the simple affine vertex superalgebra of…

Irreducible sigma models, i.e. those for which the partition function does not factorise, are defined on Riemannian spaces with irreducible holonomy groups. These special geometries are characterised by the existence of covariantly constant…

It is well-known that a formal deformation of a commutative algebra ${\mathcal A}$ leads to a Poisson bracket on ${\mathcal A}$ and that the classical limit of a derivation on the deformation leads to a derivation on ${\mathcal A}$, which…

We prove that the finite $\mathcal{W}$-algebra associated to $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ and its principal nilpotent element is isomorphic to Gorelik's ghost center of $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$, which proves an analog of Kostant's theorem for…

In analogy to the KP theory, the second Poisson structure for the dispersionless KP hierarchy can be defined on the space of commutative pseudodifferential operators $L=p^n+\sum_{j=-\infty}^{n-1}u_j p^j$. The reduction of the Poisson…

An algebra with bracket ({\sf AWB} for short) is an associative algebra endowed with a bilinear bracket satisfying a Leibniz-type compatibility condition, as introduced in \cite{casas}. It can be viewed as a noncommutative generalization of…

Following Braverman-Finkelberg-Feigin-Rybnikov (arXiv:1008.3655), we study the convolution algebra of a handsaw quiver variety, a.k.a. a parabolic Laumon space, and a finite W-algebra of type A. This is a finite analog of the AGT conjecture…

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…

In this article, we study the representation theory of shifted super Yangians and finite $W$-superalgebras of type A. A criterion for the finite dimensionality of irreducible modules is obtained in the standard parity case. Furthermore, we…

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra. The symmetric algebra $\mathcal S(\mathfrak g)$ is equipped with the standard Lie-Poisson bracket. In this paper, we elaborate on a surprising observation that one naturally associates…

For a large class of finite W algebras, the defining relations of a Yangian are proved to be satisfied. Therefore such finite W algebras appear as realisations of Yangians. This result is useful to determine properties of such W algebra…

We conjecture that a unital C$^*$-algebra is a W$^*$-algebra if and only if each of its maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebras is a W$^*$-algebra; this is a space-free analogue of a known result due to G.K. Pedersen. Our main result is a…

We present a classification of $W$ algebras and superalgebras arising in Abelian as well as non Abelian Toda theories. Each model, obtained from a constrained WZW action, is related with an $Sl(2)$ subalgebra (resp. $OSp(1|2)$ superalgebra)…

Classical mechanical systems are defined by their kinetic and potential energies. They generate a Lie algebra under the canonical Poisson bracket. This Lie algebra, which is usually infinite dimensional, is useful in analyzing the system,…

We employ the Poisson-Lie group of pseudo-difference operators to define lattice analogs of classical $W_m$-algebras. We then show that the so-constructed algebras coincide with the ones given by discrete Drinfeld-Sokolov type reduction.

The Feigin--Frenkel theorem states that, over the complex numbers, the centre of the universal affine vertex algebra at the critical level is an infinite rank polynomial algebra. The first author and W.~Wang observed that in positive…

Let $\mathtt{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $\mathfrak{g} $ be a finite dimensional classical simple Lie superalgebra over $\mathtt{k}$ or $\mathfrak{g} l(m,n)$. In the case that $\mathfrak{g} $ is a…

A higher dimensional analogue of the notion of vertex algebra is formulated in terms of formal variable language with Borcherds' notion of $G$-vertex algebra as a motivation. Some examples are given and certain analogous duality properties…
