Frobenius Manifolds: Natural Submanifolds and Induced Bi-hamiltonian Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
Submanifolds of Frobenius manifolds are studied. In particular, so-called natural submanifolds are defined and, for semi-simple Frobenius manifolds, classified. These carry the structure of a Frobenius algebra on each tangent space, but will, in general, be curved. The induced curvature is studied, a main result being that these natural submanifolds carry a induced pencil of compatible metrics. It is then shown how one may constrain the bi-Hamiltonian hierarchies associated to a Frobenius manifold to live on these natural submanifolds whilst retaining their, now non-local, bi-Hamiltonian structure.

Frobenius Manifolds as a Special Class of Submanifolds in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces
We introduce a very natural class of potential submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces (each Ndimensional potential submanifold is a special flat torsionless submanifold in a 2N-dimensional pseudoEuclidean space) and prove that each N-dimensional Frobenius manifold can be locally represented as an N-dimensional potential submanifold. We show that all potential submanifolds bear natural special ...
متن کاملDegenerate Frobenius manifolds and the bi-Hamiltonian structure of rational Lax equations
The bi-Hamiltonian structure of certain multi-component integrable systems, generalizations of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy, is studied for systems derived from a rational Lax function. One consequence of having a rational rather than a polynomial Lax functions is that the corresponding bi-Hamiltonian structures are degenerate, i.e. the metric which defines the Hamiltonian structure has va...
متن کاملTheory of Submanifolds, Associativity Equations in 2D Topological Quantum Field Theories, and Frobenius Manifolds
We prove that the associativity equations of two-dimensional topological quantum field theories are very natural reductions of the fundamental nonlinear equations of the theory of submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces and give a natural class of potential flat torsionless submanifolds. We show that all potential flat torsionless submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces bear natural structures ...
متن کاملUnfoldings of Meromorphic Connections and a Construction of Frobenius Manifolds
The existence of universal unfoldings of certain germs of meromorphic connections is established. This is used to prove a general construction theorem for Frobenius manifolds. It includes semisimple Frobenius manifolds as a particular case. Another special case starts with variations of Hodge structures. This case is used to compare two constructions of Frobenius manifolds, the one in singulari...
متن کاملDirac submanifolds and Poisson involutions
Dirac submanifolds are a natural generalization in the Poisson category for symplectic submanifolds of a symplectic manifold. In a certain sense they correspond to symplectic subgroupoids of the symplectic groupoid of the given Poisson manifold. In particular, Dirac submanifolds arise as the stable locus of a Poisson involution. In this paper, we provide a general study for these submanifolds i...
