Abstract: Kontsevich and Soibelman recently introduced the concept of quantum Airy structures, which may be understood as generalizations of Virasoro constraints in enumerative geometry. In this talk I will present two broad generalizations, namely higher and super quantum Airy structures. I will explain how many examples of these structures can be constructed as modules of vertex operator algebras, in particular W-algebras. I will comment (and speculate) on the enumerative interpretation of these new constructions in terms of intersection numbers on various moduli spaces. If time permits, I may also briefly explain how these higher and super quantum Airy structures further expand the definition of the Eynard-Orantin topological recursion.
