We consider the finite W-superalgebras for a basic classical Lie superalgebra g associated with an even nilpotent element in g both over the field of complex numbers field and and over a filed of positive characteristic. We present the PBW…

We introduce a new family of Poisson vertex algebras $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{a})$ analogous to the classical $\mathcal{W}$-algebras. The algebra $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{a})$ is associated with the centralizer $\mathfrak{a}$ of an arbitrary…

Families of vertex algebras associated to nilpotent elements of simply-laced Lie algebras are constructed. These algebras are close cousins of logarithmic W-algebras of Feigin and Tipunin and they are also obtained as modifications of…

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…

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, we prove that when $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple basic Lie superalgebra with a principal odd nilpotent element $f$, the W-algebra $W^k(\mathfrak{g}, F)$ for $F=-\frac{1}{2}[f,f]$ is…

Finite W-algebras are certain associative algebras arising in Lie theory. Each W-algebra is constructed from a pair of a semisimple Lie algebra g (our base field is algebraically closed and of characteristic 0) and its nilpotent element e.…
