Principal $W$-algebras for $\operatorname{GL}(m\vert n)$

Jonathan Brown, Jonathan Brundan and Simon M. Goodwin

Vol. 7 (2013), No. 8, 1849–1882
Abstract

We consider the (finite) W-algebra Wm|n attached to the principal nilpotent orbit in the general linear Lie superalgebra glm|n(). Our main result gives an explicit description of Wm|n as a certain truncation of a shifted version of the Yangian Y (gl1|1). We also show that Wm|n admits a triangular decomposition and construct its irreducible representations.
