Abstract

The prepotential F(ai)F(a_i), defining the low-energy effective action of the SU(N)SU(N) N=2{\cal N}=2 SUSY Yang-Mills theories, satisfies an enlarged set of the WDVV-like equations FiFk1Fj=FjFk1FiF_iF_k^{-1}F_j = F_jF_k^{-1}F_i for any triple i,j,k=1,,N1i,j,k = 1,\ldots,N-1, where matrix FiF_i is equal to (Fi)mn=3F/aiaman(F_i)_{mn} = \partial^3 F/\partial a_i\partial a_m\partial a_n. The same equations are actually true for generic topological theories. In contrast to the conventional formulation, when kk is restricted to k=0k=0, in the proposed system there is no distinguished ``first'' time-variable, and indices can be raised with the help of any ``metric'' ηmn(k)=(Fk)mn\eta_{mn}^{(k)} = (F_k)_{mn}, not obligatory flat. All the equations (for all i,j,ki,j,k) are true simultaneously. This result provides a new parallel between the Seiberg-Witten theory of low-energy gauge models in 4d4d and topological theories.
