W-algebras and Lax Operators - Lecture 3

Explore the third lecture in a series on W-algebras and Lax operators, delivered by Daniele Valeri at the Workshop on Quantum Symmetries. Delve into the advanced mathematical concepts of finite W-algebras, twisted Yangians, and Lax type operators. Examine the construction of Lax type operators for finite W-algebras and their application in investigating the relationship between twisted Yangians and finite W-algebras. Gain insights into cutting-edge research in quantum algebra and mathematical physics, referencing key papers from arXiv. This 40-minute talk, part of a broader workshop on tensor categories, topological quantum field theories, and vertex algebras, offers a deep dive into the intricate world of quantum symmetries for mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
