On Ternary $F$-manifold Algebras and their Representations (2212.13600v1)

Abstract: We introduce a notion of ternary $F$-manifold algebras which is a generalization of $F$-manifold algebras. We study representation theory of ternary $F$-manifold algebras. In particular, we introduce a notion of dual representation which requires additional conditions similar to the binary case. We then establish a notion of a coherence ternary $F$-manifold algebra. Moreover, we investigate the construction of ternary $F$-manifold algebras using $F$-manifold algebras. Furthermore, we introduce and investigate a notion of a relative Rota-Baxter operator with respect to a representation and use it to construct ternary pre-$F$-manifold algebras.
