Abstract: We say that a function F(tau) obeys WDVV equations, if for a given invertible symmetric matrix eta^{alpha beta} and all tau in T subset R^n, the expressions c^{alpha}_{beta gamma}(tau) = eta^{alpha lambda} c_{lambda beta gamma}(tau) = eta^{alpha lambda} partial_{lambda} partial_{beta} partial_{gamma} F can be considered as structure constants of commutative associative algebra; the matrix eta_{alpha beta} inverse to eta^{alpha �eta} determines an invariant scalar product on this algebra. A function x^{alpha}(z, tau) obeying partial_{alpha} partial_{beta} x^{gamma} (z, tau) = z^{-1} c^{varepsilon}_{alpha beta} partial_{epsilon} x^{gamma} (z, tau) is called a calibration of a solution of WDVV equations. We show that there exists an infinite-dimensional group acting on the space of calibrated solutions of WDVV equations (in different form such a group was constructed in [2]). We describe the action of Lie algebra of this group.
