Abstract

We show that a bi-flat F-structure (,,e,,,E)(\nabla,\circ,e,\nabla^*,*,E) on a manifold MM defines a differential bicomplex (d,dE)(d_{\nabla},d_{E\circ\nabla^*}) on forms with value on the tangent sheaf of the manifold. Moreover, the sequence of vector fields defined recursively by dX(α+1)=dLX(α)d_{\nabla}X_{(\alpha+1)}=d_{L\nabla^*}X_{(\alpha)} coincide with the coefficients of the formal expansion of the flat local sections of a family of flat connections GM\nabla^{GM} associated with the bi-flat structure. In the case of Dubrovin-Frobenius manifold the connection GM\nabla^{GM} (for suitable choice of an auxiliary parameter) can be identified with the Levi-Civita connection of the flat pencil of metrics defined by the invariant metric and the intesection form.
