Abstract

We investigate the symmetry structure of the WDVV equations. We obtain an $r$-parameter group of symmetries, where $r = (n^2 + 7n + 2)/2 + \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. Moreover it is proved that for $n=3$ and $n=4$ these comprise all symmetries. We determine a subgroup, which defines an $SL_2$-action on the space of solutions. For the special case $n=3$ this action is compared to the $SL_2$-symmetry of the Chazy equation. For $n=4$ and $n=5$ we construct new, Chazy-type, solutions.
