Representation theory of finite W-algebras (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
There has been a great deal of recent research interest in finite W-algebras motivated by important connection with primitive ideals of universal enveloping algebras and applications in mathematical physics.
There have been significant breakthroughs in the rerpesentation theory of finite W-algebras due to the research of a variety of mathematicians.
In this talk, we will give an overview of the representation theory of finite W-algebras focussing on W-algebras associated to classical Lie algebras (joint with J. Brown) and W-algebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras (joint with J. Brown and J. Brundan).
