We study geometric structures on the complement of a toric mirror arrangement associated with a root system. Inspired by those special hypergeometric functions found by Heckman-Opdam, as well as the work of Couwenberg-Heckman-Looijenga on geometric structures on projective arrangement complements, we consider a family of connections on a total space, namely, a C × -bundle on the complement of a toric mirror arrangement (=finite union of hypertori, determined by a root system). We prove that these connections are torsion free and flat, and hence define a family of affine structures on the total space, which is equivalent to a family of projective structures on the toric arrangement complement. We then determine a parameter region for which the projective structure admits a locally complex hyperbolic metric. In the end, we find a finite subset of this region for which the orbifold in question can be biholomorphically mapped onto a Heegner divisor complement of a ball quotient.
We construct Frobenius structures on the C × -bundle of the complement of a toric arrangement associated with a root system, by making use of a one-parameter family of torsion free and flat connections on it. This gives rise to a trigonometric version of Frobenius algebras in terms of root systems and a new class of Frobenius manifolds. We also determine their potential functions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
