Frobenius manifolds and a new class of extended affine Weyl groups of a-type (Q2191225): Difference between revisions

Fix an irreducible reduced root system of type \(A_l\) on the \(l\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(V\) with Euclidean inner product \((~,~)\). Let \(W\) be the Weyl group generated by the root system and \(W_a\) be the corresponding affine Weyl group. The author defines extensions \(tw^{(k,k+1)}\), \(1\leq k \leq l-1\), of the affine Weyl group \(W_a\) which act on the extended space \(V\oplus\mathbb{R}^2\). For each group \(\widetilde{W}=\widetilde{W}^{(k,k+1)}\), the author studies the ring \(\mathcal{A}\) of all \(\widetilde{W}\)-invariant bounded Fourier polynomials under a certain limit and he proves that \(\mathcal{A}\) is generated by a set of \(l+2\) elements. Then he constructs a flat pencil of metrics on the orbits space of \(\widetilde{W}\) and uses it to construct a Frobenius manifold \(\mathcal{M}\) of charge \(d=1\). In the flat coordinates \(t^1\), \dots, \(t^{l+2}\) of the Frobenius manifold, the potential takes the form \(F(t)=\widehat{F}(t)+\frac{1}{2}(t^{k+1})^2\log(t^{k+1})\), where \(\widehat{F}(t)\) is a weighted homogeneous polynomial in \(t^1,t^2\), \(\cdots, t^{l+2}\), \(e^{t^{l+1}}\), \(e^{t^{l+2}-t^{l+1}}\). The author illustrates the construction when \(l=2\) and \(l=3\). In the last section, he constructs a Frobenius manifold on a particular class of Landau-Ginzburg superpotentials consisting of trigonometric-Laurent series and proves that it is isomorphic to the Frobenius structure on \(\mathcal{M}\). Note that a similar construction is obtained for the orbit spaces of coxeter groups [\textit{B. Dubrovin}, in: Surveys in differential geometry. Vol. IV: Integral systems [Integrable systems]. Lectures on geometry and topology. Cambridge, MA: International Press. 181--211 (1998; Zbl 0962.53049)] which leads to the classification of polynomial Frobenius manifolds [\textit{C. Hertling}, Frobenius manifolds and moduli spaces for singularities. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2002; Zbl 1023.14018)] and for 1-dimensional extensions of affine Weyl groups [\textit{B. Dubrovin} and \textit{Y. Zhang}, Compos. Math. 111, No. 2, 167--219 (1998; Zbl 0964.32020); \textit{B. Dubrovin} et al., Adv. Math. 351, 897--946 (2019; Zbl 1418.53088)].
