Abstract
Fix a reductive group G, and consider the affine W-algebra associated to a principal nilpotent element of the Lie algebra of G. We determine the block decomposition of its category of highest weight, i.e. positive energy, representations, and identify regular blocks with Whittaker sheaves on the affine flag variety of G. We also identify the latter category, under a mild hypothesis on the central charge, with Category O for the affinization of the Langlands dual Lie algebra at the dual central charge. The latter confirms a conjecture of Gaitsgory, and implies non-factorizably, a related conjecture of Gaitsgory and Lurie
