Abstract:
We consider the relation between a class of generalized Frobenius
manifolds with bihamiltonian integrable hierarchies. Such generalized
Frobenius manifolds are defined by Dubrovin’s definition of Frobenius
manifold but without the flatness condition imposed on the unit vector
fields. Important examples arise from the study of Gromov–Witten theory
and Hodge integrals. For any semisimple generalized Frobenius manifold,
we present an analogue of the construction of bihamiltonian integrable
hierarchies that was given by Dubrovin and Zhang for semisimple
Frobenius manifolds.
