WDVV-like equations in N=2 SUSY Yang-Mills Theory

Abstract
The prepotential $F(a_i)$, defining the low-energy effective action of the $SU(N)$ ${\cal N}=2$ SUSY Yang-Mills theories, satisfies an enlarged set of the WDVV-like equations $F_iF_k^{-1}F_j = F_jF_k^{-1}F_i$ for any triple $i,j,k = 1,\ldots,N-1$, where matrix $F_i$ is equal to $(F_i)_{mn} = \partial^3 F/\partial a_i\partial a_m\partial a_n$. The same equations are actually true for generic topological theories. In contrast to the conventional formulation, when $k$ is restricted to $k=0$, in the proposed system there is no distinguished ``first'' time-variable, and indices can be raised with the help of any ``metric'' $\eta_{mn}^{(k)} = (F_k)_{mn}$, not obligatory flat. All the equations (for all $i,j,k$) are true simultaneously. This result provides a new parallel between the Seiberg-Witten theory of low-energy gauge models in $4d$ and topological theories.
