Three constructions of Frobenius manifolds: a comparative study

Identification of Two Frobenius Manifolds In Mirror Symmetry

We identify two Frobenius manifolds obtained from two different differential Gerstenhaber-Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras on a compact Kaehler manifold. One is constructed on the Dolbeault cohomology, and the other on the de Rham cohomology. Our result can be considered as a generalization of the identification of the Dolbeault cohomology ring with the complexified de Rham cohomology ring on a Kaehler manifold.

Frobenius manifolds and quantum groups

We introduce isomonodromy Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) connections with respect to the quantum Stokes matrices, and prove that the classical limit of the KZ type connections gives rise to the Dubrovin connections of semisimple Frobenius manifolds and flat F-manifolds.

Smooth projective Calabi-Yau complete intersections and algorithms for their Frobenius manifolds and higher residue pairings

The goal of this article is to provide an explicit algorithmic construction of formal $F$-manifold structures, formal Frobenius manifold structures, and higher residue pairings on the primitive middle-dimensional cohomology $\mathbb{H}$ of a smooth projective Calabi-Yau complete intersection variety $X$ defined by homogeneous polynomials $G_1(\underline x), \dots, G_k(\underline x)$. Our main method is to analyze a certain dGBV (differential Gerstenhaber-Batalin-Vilkovisky) algebra $\mathcal{A}$ obtained from the twisted de Rham complex which computes $\mathbb{H}$. More explicitly, we introduc…

Frobenius algebras and skein modules of surfaces in 3-manifolds

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 extension of the corresponding topological quantum field theory. In particular the skein module of the 3-ball is isomorphic to the ground ring of the Frobenius algebra. We prove a presentation theorem for the skein module with generators incompressible surfaces colored by elements of a generating set of the Frobenius algebra, and with relations determined by tubing…

The Chebyshev-Frobenius homomorphism for stated skein modules of 3-manifolds

We study the stated skein modules of marked 3-manifolds. We generalize the splitting homomorphism for stated skein algebras of surfaces to a splitting homomorphism for stated skein modules of 3-manifolds. We show that there exists a Chebyshev-Frobenius homomorphism for the stated skein modules of 3-manifolds which extends the Chebyshev homomorphism of the skein algebras of unmarked surfaces originally constructed by Bonahon and Wong. Additionally, we show that the Chebyshev-Frobenius map commutes with the splitting homomorphism. This is then used to show that in the case of the stated skein al…

Semi-Classical Quantum Fields Theories and Frobenius Manifolds

We show that a semi-classical quantum field theory comes with a versal family with the property that the corresponding partition function generates all path integrals and satisfies a system of 2nd order differential equations determined by algebras of classical observables. This versal family gives rise to a notion of special coordinates that is analogous to that in string theories. We also show that for a large class of semi-classical theories, their moduli space has the structure of a Frobenius super-manifold.

Realization of Frobenius manifolds as submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces

We introduce a class of k-potential submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces and prove that for an arbitrary positive integer k and an arbitrary nonnegative integer p, each N-dimensional Frobenius manifold can always be locally realized as an N-dimensional k-potential submanifold in ((k + 1) N + p)-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean spaces of certain signatures. For k = 1 this construction was proposed by the present author in a previous paper (2006). The realization of concrete Frobenius manifolds is reduced to solving a consistent linear system of second-order partial differential equations.

Multiplication on the tangent bundle

Manifolds with a commutative and associative multiplication on the tangent bundle are called F-manifolds if a unit field exists and the multiplication satisfies a natural integrability condition. They are studied here. They are closely related to discriminants and Lagrange maps. Frobenius manifolds are F-manifolds. As an application a conjecture of Dubrovin on Frobenius manifolds and Coxeter groups is proved.

Free frobenius algebra on the differential forms of a manifold

We construct an action of a free resolution of the Frobenius properad on the differential forms of a closed oriented manifold. As a consequence, the forms of a manifold with values in a semi-simple Lie algebra have an additional structure given by an action of a free resolution of the properad describing Lie di-algebras with module compatibility.

On Kauffman bracket skein modules of marked 3-manifolds and the Chebyshev-Frobenius homomorphism

In this paper we study the skein algebras of marked surfaces and the skein modules of marked 3-manifolds. Muller showed that skein algebras of totally marked surfaces may be embedded in easy to study algebras known as quantum tori. We first extend Muller's result to permit marked surfaces with unmarked boundary components. The addition of unmarked components allows us to develop a surgery theory which enables us to extend the Chebyshev homomorphism of Bonahon and Wong between skein algebras of unmarked surfaces to a "Chebyshev-Frobenius homomorphism" between skein modules of marked 3-manifolds…

Frobenius splitting of Schubert varieties of semi-infinite flag manifolds

We exhibit basic algebro-geometric results on the formal model of semi-infinite flag varieties and its Schubert varieties over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb K$ of characteristic $\neq 2$ from scratch. We show that the formal model of a semi-infinite flag variety admits a unique nice (ind)scheme structure, its projective coordinate ring has a $\mathbb Z$-model, and it admits a Frobenius splitting compatible with the boundaries and opposite cells in positive characteristic. This establishes the normality of the Schubert varieties of the quasi-map space with a fixed degree (instead of th…

Frobenius-Schur Indicators and the Mapping Class Group of the Torus

The Turaev-Viro state sum invariant can be extended to 3-manifolds with free boundaries. We use this fact to describe generalized Frobenius-Schur indicators as Turaev-Viro invariants of solid tori. This provides a geometric understanding of the $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$-equivariance of these indicators.
