Abstract

A finite quiver QQ without loops or 2-cycles defines a 3CY triangulated category D(Q)D(Q) and a finite heart A(Q)A(Q). We show that if QQ satisfies some (strong) conditions then the space of stability conditions Stab(A(Q))Stab(A(Q)) supported on this heart admits a natural family of semisimple Frobenius manifold structures, constructed using the invariants counting semistable objects in D(Q)D(Q). In the case of AnA_n evaluating the family at a special point we recover a branch of the Saito Frobenius structure of the AnA_n singularity y2=xn+1y^2 = x^{n+1}. We give examples where applying the construction to each mutation of QQ and evaluating the families at a special point yields a different branch of the maximal analytic continuation of the same semisimple Frobenius manifold. In particular we check that this holds in the case of AnA_n, n5n \leq 5.
