Abstract

We consider the (finite) WW-algebra WmnW_{m|n} attached to the principal nilpotent orbit in the general linear Lie superalgebra glmn(C)\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}(\mathbb C). Our main result gives an explicit description of WmnW_{m|n} as a certain truncation of a shifted version of the Yangian Y(gl11)Y(\mathfrak{gl}_{1|1}). We also show that WmnW_{m|n} admits a triangular decomposition and construct its irreducible representations.
