Preprint SISSA 25/98/FM FLAT PENCILS OF METRICS AND FROBENIUS MANIFOLDS
نویسنده
چکیده
s This paper is based on the author’s talk at 1997 Taniguchi Symposium “Integrable Systems and Algebraic Geometry”. We consider an approach to the theory of Frobenius manifolds based on the geometry of flat pencils of contravariant metrics. It is shown that, under certain homogeneity assumptions, these two objects are identical. The flat pencils of contravariant metrics on a manifold M appear naturally in the classification of bihamiltonian structures of hydrodynamics type on the loop space L(M). This elucidates the relations between Frobenius manifolds and integrable hierarchies.

Conformally Flat Pencils of Metrics, Frobenius Structures and a Modified Saito Construction
The structure of a Frobenius manifold encodes the geometry associated with a flat pencil of metrics. However, as shown in the authors’ earlier work [1], much of the structure comes from the compatibility property of the pencil rather than from the flatness of the pencil itself. In this paper conformally flat pencils of metrics are studied and examples, based on a modification of the Saito const...
متن کامل“Real doubles” of Hurwitz Frobenius manifolds
New family of flat potential (Darboux-Egoroff) metrics on the Hurwitz spaces and corresponding Frobenius structures are found. We consider a Hurwitz space as a real manifold. Therefore the number of coordinates is twice as big as the number of coordinates used in the construction of Frobenius manifolds on Hurwitz spaces found by B.Dubrovin more than 10 years ago. The branch points of a ramified...

متن کاملF–manifolds with Flat Structure and Dubrovin’s Duality
This work continues the study of F–manifolds (M, ◦), first defined in [HeMa] and investigated in [He]. The notion of a compatible flat structure ∇ is introduced, and it is shown that many constructions known for Frobenius manifolds do not in fact require invariant metrics and can be developed for all such triples (M, ◦,∇). In particular, we extend and generalize recent Dubrovin’s duality [Du2]. §
