Abstract:
Recursion operators are usually defined, within the theory of bihamiltonian
systems, as a special class of tensor fields of type (1,1) with vanishing
Nijenhuis torsion. In the talk I enlarge the concept of recursion operator
so to encompass a special class of tensor fields of type (1,1) with
vanishing Haantjes tensor, and I show that recursion operators in this
generalized sense are deeply enrooted in the theory of Frobenius manifolds.
In particular, I show how the Saito theory of Frobenius structures on the
space of orbits of Coxeter groups can be read from the viewpoint of the
theory of recursion operators.
