Abstract

We define certain extensions of affine Weyl groups (distinct from these considered by K. Saito [S1] in the theory of extended affine root systems), prove an analogue of Chevalley theorem for their invariants, and construct a Frobenius structure on their orbit spaces. This produces solutions F(t1,...,tn)F(t_1, ..., t_n) of WDVV equations of associativity polynomial in t1,...,tn1,exptnt_1, ..., t_{n-1}, \exp t_n.
