Abstract The universal enveloping algebra of W $$ \mathcal{W} $$ 1+∞ is isomorphic to the affine Yangian of g l 1 $$ \mathfrak{g}{\mathfrak{l}}_1 $$ . We study the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric version of this correspondence, and identify the full set of defining relations of the supersymmetric affine Yangian. These relations can be deduced by demanding that the algebra has a representation on twin-plane-partitions, which we construct by gluing pairs of plane partitions. We define the action of the algebra on these twin-plane-partitions explicitly.
