Givental action and trivialisation of circle action
Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques, Volume 2 (2015), pp. 213-246.

In this paper, we show that the Givental group action on genus zero cohomological field theories, also known as formal Frobenius manifolds or hypercommutative algebras, naturally arises in the deformation theory of Batalin–Vilkovisky algebras. We prove that the Givental action is equal to an action of the trivialisations of the trivial circle action. This result relies on the equality of two Lie algebra actions coming from two apparently remote domains: geometry and homotopical algebra.

Dans cet article, nous montrons que l’action du groupe de Givental sur les théories cohomologiques des champs de genre 0, aussi appelées variétés de Frobenius formelles ou algèbres hypercommutatives, naît naturellement de la théorie de la déformation des algèbres de Batalin-Vilkovisky. Nous démontrons que l’action de Givental est égale à une action provenant des trivialisations des actions du cercle. Ce résultat repose sur l’égalité des actions de deux algèbres de Lie apparentant a priori à deux domaines distincts : la géométrie et l’algèbre homotopique.
