Abstract
We introduce a formalism for describing holomorphic blocks of 3d quiver gauge theories using networks of Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra intertwiners. Our approach is very direct and gives an explicit identification of the blocks with Dotsenko-Fateev type integrals for q-deformed quiver W-algebras. We also explain how quiver theories corresponding to Dynkin diagrams of superalgebras arise, write down the corresponding partition functions and W-algebras, and explain the connection with supersymmetric Macdonald-Ruijsenaars commuting Hamiltonians.
