DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/Darboux/1/">
 Nilpotent Slodowy slices and W-algebras</a>\nby Anne Moreau (U. Paris Sacl
 ay) as part of Darboux Seminar\n\nLecture held in Amphi Charpak\, Campus P
 ierre et Marie Curie\, Tour 22 RdJ.\n\nAbstract\nTo any vertex algebra one
  can attach in a canonical way a certain Poisson variety\, called the asso
 ciated variety. Nilpotent Slodowy slices appear as associated varieties of
  admissible (simple) W-algebras. They also appear as Higgs branches of the
  Argyres-Douglas theories in 4d N=2 SCFT’s. These two facts are linked b
 y the so-called Higgs branch conjecture. In this talk I will explain how t
 o exploit the geometry of nilpotent Slodowy slices to study some propertie
 s of W-algebras whose motivation stems from physics. This is a joint work 
 with Tomoyuki Arakawa and Jethro van Ekeren (still in preparation).\n
