A canonical Frobenius structure

Abstract: We show that it makes sense to speak of THE Frobenius manifold attached to a convenient and nondegenerate Laurent polynomial


\textit{K. Saito} introduced a Frobenius structure on the germs of singularities of holomorphic functions [Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 19, 1231--1264 (1983; Zbl 0539.58003)]. In the construction -- following Saito's scheme -- of Frobenius structures on the base of a more global deformation of a convenient and nondegenerate Laurent polynomial \(f\), defined on the torus \(U = (\mathbb C^*)^n\), two major difficulties arise; firstly, the analysis of the Fourier-Laplace transform of the Brieskorn lattice of this unfolding leads to a transcendental process of analytization in the variables of the polynomial; and secondly, it is not known if any unfolding is induced by a universal one. Therefore two different (universal) unfoldings could produce two different Frobenius structures. The goal of the present paper is to show that these Frobenius structures are all isomorphic for those which are determined by a restricted set of algebraic data, so called initial conditions [\textit{A. Douai}, Construction de varietes de Frobenius via les polynomes de Laurent: une autre approche, \url{arXiv:math.AG/0510437v2}]. The author also attaches a canonical Frobenius structure to any such convenient nondegenerate Laurent polynomial.
