Whittaker category for the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields

For any positive integer $n$, let $A_n=\mathbb{C}[t_1,\dots,t_n]$, $W_n=\text{Der}(A_n)$ and $Δ_n=\text{Span}\{\frac{\partial}{\partial{t_1}},\dots,\frac{\partial}{\partial{t_n}}\}$. Then $(W_n, Δ_n)$ is a Whittaker pair. A $W_n$-module $M$ on which $Δ_n$ operates locally finite is called a Whittaker module. We show that each block $Ω_{\mathbf{a}}^{\widetilde{W}}$ of the category of $(A_n,W_n)$-Whittaker modules with finite dimensional Whittaker vector spaces is equivalent to the category of finite dimensional modules over $L_n$, where $L_n$ is the Lie subalgebra of $W_n$ consisting of vector fields vanishing at the origin. As a corollary, we classify all simple non-singular Whittaker $W_n$-modules with finite dimensional Whittaker vector spaces using $\mathfrak{gl}_n$-modules. We also obtain an analogue of Skryabin's equivalence for the non-singular block $Ω_{\mathbf{a}}^W$.
