Infinitesimal Cherednik algebras as W-algebras

Abstract

In this article we establish an isomorphism between universal infinitesimal Cherednik algebras and W-algebras for Lie algebras of the same type and 1-block nilpotent elements. As a consequence we obtain some fundamental results about infinitesimal Cherednik algebras.
