Flat F-manifolds, F-CohFTs, and integrable hierarchies (Q2244087)

The authors investigate a double ramification hierarchy associated to an F-cohomological field theory (F-CohFT). This is given by the infinite system of local vector fields associated with certain densities. It is shown that the principal hierarchy of any semisimple generalization of Dubrovin-Frobenius manifolds, called F-manifolds with compatible flat structure (see [\textit{Y. I. Manin}, Adv. Math. 198, No. 1, 5--26 (2005; Zbl 1085.14023); \textit{P. Lorenzoni} et al., Arch. Math., Brno 47, No. 3, 163--180 (2011; Zbl 1249.35267)]), admits an integrable dispersive deformation at all orders in the dispersion parameter. The above stated statement is proved in detail. To this end it is used the reconstruction of a generalization of the notion of cohomological field theory, called F-cohomological field theory (F-CohFT) starting from a semisimple flat F-manifold and additional data in genus 1. The construction of these dispersive deformations is given explicitly and some examples illustrate the theory. The problem of double ramification hierarchies is then discussed. Next the authors classify rank-1 hierarchies of double ramification type up to approximation order 9 in the dispersion parameter. Additionally a classification of homogeneous double ramification hierarchies associated with all 2-dimensional homogeneous flat F-manifolds at genus-1 approximation is provided.
