Quantization of the shift of argument subalgebras in type A

Given a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and an element $μ\in\mathfrak{g}^*$, the corresponding shift of argument subalgebra of $\text{S}(\mathfrak{g})$ is Poisson commutative. In the case where $μ$ is regular, this subalgebra is known to admit a quantization, that is, it can be lifted to a commutative subalgebra of $\text{U}(\mathfrak{g})$. We show that if $\mathfrak{g}$ is of type $A$, then this property extends to arbitrary $μ$, thus proving a conjecture of Feigin, Frenkel and Toledano Laredo. The proof relies on an explicit construction of generators of the center of the affine vertex algebra at the critical level.
