Affine W-algebras are vertex algebras that extend the Virasoro algebra. They were introduced by Zamolodchikov in physics and developed further in mathematics by Arakawa, Feigin, Frenkel, Kac, Wakimoto, etc. They are significant for the representation theory of affine Lie algebras or affine quantum groups. Recently new constructions of affine W-algebras in quantum field theories have garnered the attention of many mathematicians. The project GRAW aims to strengthen collaborations, in particular between mathematicians and physicists, and create new ones between reserachers with complementary skills around the representation theory of affine W-algebras.
