We consider the quiver Yangians associated to general affine Dynkin diagrams. Although the quivers are generically not toric, the algebras have some similar structures. The odd reflections of the affine Dynkin diagrams should correspond to Seiberg duality of the quivers, and we investigate the relations of the dual quiver Yangians. We also mention the construction of the twisted quiver Yangians. It is conjectured that the truncations of the (twisted) quiver Yangians can give rise to certain $\mathcal{W}$-algebras. Incidentally, we give the screening currents of the $\mathcal{W}$-algebras in terms of the free field realization in the case of generalized conifolds. Moreover, we discuss the toroidal and elliptic algebras for any general quivers.

We focus on quiver Yangians for most generalized conifolds. We construct a coproduct of the quiver Yangian following the similar approach by Guay-Nakajima-Wendlandt. We also prove that the quiver Yangians related by Seiberg duality are indeed isomorphic. Then we discuss their connections to $\mathcal{W}$-algebras analogous to the study by Ueda. In particular, the universal enveloping algebras of the $\mathcal{W}$-algebras are truncations of the quiver Yangians, and therefore ...

In this note, we study possible $\mathcal{R}$-matrix constructions in the context of quiver Yangians and Yang-Baxter algebras. For generalized conifolds, we also discuss the relations between the quiver Yangians and some other Yangian algebras (and $\mathcal{W}$-algebras) in literature.

In this note, we aim to review algorithms for constructing crystal representations of quiver Yangians in detail. Quiver Yangians are believed to describe an action of the BPS algebra on BPS states in systems of D-branes wrapping toric Calabi-Yau three-folds. Crystal modules of these algebras originate from molten crystal models for Donaldson-Thomas invariants of respective three-folds. Despite the fact that this subject was originally at the crossroads of algebraic geometry w...

We introduce a new elliptic quantum toroidal algebra $U_{q,t,p}(gl_{1,tor})$. Various representations in the quantum toroidal algebra $U_{q,t}(gl_{1,tor})$ are extended to the elliptic case including the level (0,0) representation realized by using the elliptic Ruijsenaars difference operator. Intertwining operators of $U_{q,t,p}(gl_{1,tor})$-modules w.r.t. the Drinfeld comultiplication are also constructed. We show that $U_{q,t,p}(gl_{1,tor})$ gives a realization of the affi...

The quiver Yangians were originally defined for the quiver and superpotential from string theory on general toric Calabi-Yau threefolds, and serve as BPS algebras of these systems. Their characters reproduce the unrefined BPS indices, which correspond to classical Donaldson-Thomas (DT) invariants. We generalize this construction in two directions. First, we show that this definition extends to arbitrary quivers with potentials. Second, we explain how to define the characters ...

In this note, we discuss some properties of the quiver BPS algebras. We consider how they would transform under different operations on the toric quivers, such as dualities and higgsing. We also give free field realizations of the algebras, in particular for the chiral quivers.

The quiver Yangian, an infinite-dimensional algebra introduced recently in arXiv:2003.08909, is the algebra underlying BPS state counting problems for toric Calabi-Yau three-folds. We introduce trigonometric and elliptic analogues of quiver Yangians, which we call toroidal quiver algebras and elliptic quiver algebras, respectively. We construct the representations of the shifted toroidal and elliptic algebras in terms of the statistical model of crystal melting. We also deriv...

This is a review article on the quantum toroidal algebras, focusing on their roles in various solvable structures of 2d conformal field theory, supersymmetric gauge theory, and string theory. Using $\mathcal{W}$-algebras as our starting point, we elucidate the interconnection of affine Yangians, quantum toroidal algebras, and double affine Hecke algebras. Our exploration delves into the representation theory of the quantum toroidal algebra of $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ in full detai...

In a previous paper the authors have attached to each Dynkin quiver an associative algebra. The definition is categorical and the algebra is used to construct desingularizations of arbitrary quiver Grassmannians. In the present paper we prove that this algebra is isomorphic to an algebra constructed by Hernandez-Leclerc defined combinatorially and used to describe certain graded Nakajima quiver varieties. This approach is used to get an explicit realization of the orbit closu...

Recently, Li and Yamazaki proposed a new class of infinite-dimensional algebras, quiver Yangian, which generalizes the affine Yangian $\mathfrak{gl}_{1}$. The characteristic feature of the algebra is the action on BPS states for non-compact toric Calabi-Yau threefolds, which are in one-to-one correspondence with the crystal melting models. These algebras can be bootstrapped from the action on the crystals and have various truncations. In this paper, we propose a $q$-deforme...
