Pseudo-elliptic geometry of a class of Frobenius-manifolds & Maurer--Cartan structures

TL;DR

This paper reveals that a new class of Frobenius manifolds exhibits pseudo-elliptic geometry, is related to Lorentzian structures, and uncovers Maurer--Cartan structures, linking causality concepts across geometry and physics.

Contribution

It demonstrates the pseudo-elliptic nature of the fourth Frobenius manifold and explores its geometric and causality-related properties, a novel insight in the field.

Findings

The fourth Frobenius manifold is pseudo-elliptic.

It is a sub-manifold of a non-orientable Lorentzian projective manifold.

Maurer--Cartan structures are identified for this manifold.

Abstract

The recently discovered fourth class of Frobenius manifolds by Combe--Manin in opened and highlighted new geometric domains to explore. The guiding mantra of this article is to show the existence of hidden geometric aspects of the fourth Frobenius manifold, which turns out to be related to so-called causality conditions. Firstly, it is proved that the fourth class of Frobenius manifolds is a Pseudo-Elliptic one. Secondly, this manifold turns out to be a sub-manifold of a non-orientable Lorentzian projective manifold. Thirdly, Maurer--Cartan structures for this manifold and hidden geometrical properties for this manifold are unraveled. In fine, these investigations lead to the rather philosophical concept of causality condition, creating a bridge between the notion of causality coming from Lorentzian manifolds (originated in special relativity theory) and the one arising in probability and statistics.
