Commuting Subalgebras of Affine Super Yangians Arising from Edge Contractions

TL;DR
This work establishes that two edge contractions on the affine super Yangian, denoted as $Psi1$ and $Psi2$, commute, enabling a tensor product construction into a larger completed affine super Yangian. It then connects the affine super Yangian to centralizer algebras of universal enveloping algebras of $W$-superalgebras of type A via evaluation maps, and demonstrates the compatibility of the Yangian coproduct with parabolic induction in special cases. A bridge is developed between affine super Yangians and $W$-superalgebras through a family of commuting homomorphisms $Phi_s$, whose images land in centralizers of $W$-algebras and reflect the structure of parabolic inductions. The paper also introduces an extended affine super Yangian and a corresponding coproduct-like map, expanding the Hopf-like framework. In the rectangular and special settings, Miura maps are leveraged to realize these algebras inside tensor products of vertex algebras, enabling a cohesive picture that ties together edge contractions, centralizers, and parabolic inductions, with potential connections to generalized trialities of $Y$-algebras.
Abstract
In the previous paper, we constructed two kinds of edge contractions for the affine super Yangian and a homomorphism from the affine super Yangian to the universal enveloping algebra of a $W$-superalgebra of type $A$. In this article, we show that these two edge contractions commute with each other. As an application, we give a homomorphism from the affine super Yangian to some centralizer algebras of the universal enveloping algebra of $W$-superalgebras of type $A$. Using the edge contraction, we also show the compatibility of the coproduct for the affine super Yangian with the parabolic induction for a $W$-superalgebra of type $A$ in some special cases.
