\((T)\)-structures over two-dimensional \(F\)-manifolds: formal classification (Q2183525)

A \((TE)\)-structure \(\nabla\) over a complex manifold \(M\) is a meromorphic connection defined on a holomorphic vector bundle over \(\mathbb C\times M\), with poles of Poincaré rank one along \(\left\{0\right\}\times M\). Under a mild additional condition (the so-called unfolding condition), \(\nabla\) induces a multiplication on \(TM\) and a vector field on \(M\) (the Euler field), which make \(M\) into an \(F\)-manifold with Euler field. By taking the pullbacks of \(\nabla\) under the inclusions \(\left\{z\right\}\times M\to\mathbb C\times M\) (\(z\in\mathbb C^*\)), one obtains a family of flat connections on vector bundles over \(M\), parametrized by \(z\in\mathbb C^*\). The properties of such a family of connections give rise to the notion of \((T)\)-structure. The aim of the present paper is to study the properties of \((T)\)- and \((TE)\)-structures. In particular, the authors determine normal forms for the equivalence classes, under formal isomorphisms, of \((T)\)-structures, which induce a given irreducible germ of two-dimensional \(F\)-manifolds. The authors say that this is the first step in the classification of \((TE)\)-structures over a given germ of \(F\)-manifolds with Euler field.
