On the bi-Hamiltonian geometry of WDVV equations (Q2355068): Difference between revisions

The Witten-Dijkgraf-Verlinde-Verlinde associativity equations arise as the conditions of associativity of an algebra in an \(N\)-dimensional space. The authors of this article consider the WDVV associativity equations in the four-dimensional case. These nonlinear equations of third order can be written as a pair of six-component commuting two-dimensional non-diagonalizable hydrodynamic-type systems. In this article, it is proved that these systems possess a compatible pair of local homogeneous Hamiltonian structures of Dubrovin-Novikov type (of first and third order, respectively).
