We introduce a new family of affine $W$-algebras associated with the centralizers of arbitrary nilpotent elements in $mathfrak{gl}_N$. We define them by using a version of the BRST complex of the quantum Drinfeld--Sokolov reduction. A family of free generators of the new algebras is produced in an explicit form. We also give an analogue of the Fateev--Lukyanov realization for these algebras by applying a Miura-type map.

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 nilpotent element in $mathfrak{gl}_N$. We show that $mathcal{W}(mathfrak{a})$ is an algebra of polynomials in infinitely many variables and produce its free generators in an explicit form. This implies that $mathcal{W}(mathfrak{a})$ is isomorphic to the center at the critical level of the affine vertex algebra associated with $mathfrak{a}$.
We investigate the irreducibility of the nilpotent Slodowy slices that appear as the associated variety of W-algebras. Furthermore, we provide new examples of vertex algebras whose associated variety has finitely many symplectic leaves.
We show that sheet closures appear as associated varieties of affine vertex algebras. Further, we give new examples of non-admissible affine vertex algebras whose associated variety is contained in the nilpotent cone. We also prove some conjectures from our previous paper and give new examples of lisse affine W-algebras.
We give a definition of quaternion Lie algebra and of the quaternification of a complex Lie algebra. By our definition gl(n,H), sl(n,H), so*(2n) ans sp(n) are quaternifications of gl(n,C), sl(n,C), so(n,C) and u(n) respectively. Then we shall prove that a simple Lie algebra admits the quaternification. For the proof we follow the well known argument due to Harich-Chandra, Chevalley and Serre to construct the simple Lie algebra from its corresponding root system. The root space decomposition of this quaternion Lie algebra will be given. Each root sapce of a fundamental root is complex 2-dimensional.
We consider the affine vertex algebra at the critical level associated with the centralizer of a nilpotent element in the Lie algebra $mathfrak{gl}_N$. Due to a recent result of Arakawa and Premet, the center of this vertex algebra is an algebra of polynomials. We construct a family of free generators of the center in an explicit form. As a corollary, we obtain generators of the corresponding quantum shift of argument subalgebras and recover free generators of the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the centralizer produced earlier by Brown and Brundan.
