W-algebras from the ABCD of topological recursion
We describe W-algebras, attached to a spectral curve locally near its branch points. The construction is determined by Bouchard-Eynard topological recursion, and the resulting algebra of differential operators is presented. The following cases are considered: r-Airy curve x=y^r and its deformation, parametrized by KdV-r times.
