We propose an analogue of Dubrovin's conjecture for the case where Fano manifolds have quantum connections of exponential type. It includes the case where the quantum cohomology rings are not necessarily semisimple. The conjecture is…
The base space of a semi-universal unfolding of a hypersurface singularity carries a rich geometric structure, which was axiomatized as a CDV-structure by C. Hertling. For any CDV-structure on a Frobenius manifold M, the pull-back of the…
A self-dual algebras is one isomorphic as a module to the opposite of its dual; a quasi self-dual algebra is one whose cohomology with coefficients in itself is isomorphic to that with coefficients in the opposite of its dual. For these…
We construct a functor from the derived category of homotopy Gerstenhaber algebras with finite-dimensional cohomology to the purely geometric category of so-called $F_{\infty}$-manifolds. The latter contains Frobenius manifolds as a…
For each Frobenius algebra there is defined a skein module of surfaces embedded in a given 3-manifold and bounding a prescribed curve system in the boundary. The skein relations are local and generate the kernel of a certain natural…
In the present paper by Frobenius algebra Y we mean a finite dimensional algebra possessing an associative and invertible (nondegenerate) form a scalar product, referred to as the Frobenius structure. The nondegenerate form has an inverse.…
A Frobenius algebra is a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ which comes equipped with a coassociative, counital comultiplication map $\Delta$ that is an $A$-bimodule map. Here, we examine comultiplication maps for generalizations of Frobenius…
We describe the construction of Frobenius manifold out of a cyclic (commutative) $BV_\infty$ algebra $(A,\Delta)$ under the assumption of a Hodge-to-de Rham degeneration property and the existence of a compatible homotopy retract of $A$…
For a torsionless connection on the tangent bundle of a manifold M the Weyl curvature W is the part of the curvature in kernel of the Ricci contraction. We give a coordinate free proof of Weyl's result that the Weyl curvature vanishes if…
We consider the associativity (or WDVV) equations in the form they appear in Seiberg-Witten theory and prove that they are covariant under generic electric-magnetic duality transformations. We discuss the consequences of this covariance…
Frobenius manifold structures on the spaces of abelian integrals were constructed by I. Krichever. We use D-modules, deformation theory, and homological algebra to give a coordinate-free description of these structures. It turns out that…
We introduce a new approach for computing curvature of sub-Riemannian manifolds. Curvature is here meant as symplectic invariants of Jacobi curves of geodesics, as introduced by Zelenko and Li. We describe how they can be expressed using a…
A class of solutions to the WDVV equations is provided by period matrices of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, with or without punctures. The equations themselves reflect associativity of explicitly described multiplicative algebra of…
In the paper two important theorems about complete affine spheres are generalized to the case of statistical structures on abstract manifolds. The assumption about constant sectional curvature is replaced by the assumption that the…
In this article, we concern the concept of nearly Frobenius algebra, which corresponds to most 2D-TQFT of which each cobordism admits no critical points of index 0 or 2. We prove that any nearly Frobenius algebra over a principal ideal…
We construct an associative differential algebra on a two-parameter quantum plane associated with a nilpotent endomorphism $d$ in the two cases $d^{2}=0$ and $d^3=0$ $(d^2\neq 0).$ The correspondent curvature is derived and the related non…
We say that a function F(tau) obeys WDVV equations, if for a given invertible symmetric matrix eta^{alpha beta} and all tau \in T \subset R^n, the expressions c^{alpha}_{beta gamma}(tau) = eta^{alpha lambda} c_{lambda beta gamma}(tau) =…
We discuss the associativity or WDVV equations and demonstrate that they can be rewritten as certain functional relations between the {\it second} derivatives of a single function, similar to the dispersionless Hirota equations. The…
Let \pi : V \rightarrow M be a (real or holomorphic) vector bundle whose base has an almost Frobenius structure (\circ_{M},e_{M}, g_{M}) and typical fiber has the structure of a Frobenius algebra (\circ_{V},e_{V},g_{V}). Using a connection…
We give a computability result for open Gromov-Witten invariants based on open WDVV equations. This is analogous to the result of Kontsevich-Manin for closed Gromov-Witten invariants. For greater generality, we base the argument on a formal…
