tt∗-GEOMETRY IN QUANTUM COHOMOLOGY
نویسنده
چکیده
We study possible real structures in the space of solutions to the quantum differential equation. We show that, under mild conditions, a real structure in orbifold quantum cohomology yields a pure and polarized tt-geometry near the large radius limit. We compute an example of P which is pure and polarized over the whole Kähler moduli space H(P,C).

tt∗-GEOMETRY ON THE BIG PHASE SPACE
The big phase space, the geometric setting for the study of quantum cohomology with gravitational descendents, is a complex manifold and consists of an infinite number of copies of the small phase space. The aim of this paper is to define a Hermitian geometry on the big phase space. Using the approach of Dijkgraaf and Witten [2], we lift various geometric structures of the small phase space to ...
متن کاملThe Tt * Structure of the Quantum Cohomology of Cp 1 from the Viewpoint of Differential Geometry
The quantum cohomology of CP 1 provides a distinguished solution of the third Painlevé (PIII) equation. S. Cecotti and C. Vafa discovered this from a physical viewpoint (see [4], [5]). We shall derive this from a differential geometric viewpoint, using the theory of harmonic maps and in particular the generalized Weierstrass representation (DPW representation) for surfaces of constant mean curv...
متن کاملQuantum cohomology of Grassmannians
The (small) quantum cohomology ring of a Grassmann variety encodes the enumerative geometry of rational curves in this variety. By using degeneracy loci formulas on quot schemes, Bertram has proved quantum Pieri and Giambelli formulas which give a complete description of the quantum cohomology ring. In this talk I will present elementary new proofs of these results which rely only on the defini...
متن کاملThe Quantum Cohomology of Homogeneous Varieties
The notion of quantum cohomology was first proposed by Witten [Va, Wi], based on topological field theory. Its mathematical theory was only established recently by Y. Ruan and the second named author [RT, Ru], where they proved the existence of the quantum rings on semi-positive symplectic manifolds. (Fano manifolds are particular semi-positive manifolds.) In this note, we will provide a purely...
متن کاملNotes on Stable Maps and Quantum Cohomology
0.1. Overview. The aim of these notes is to describe an exciting chapter in the recent development of quantum cohomology. Guided by ideas from physics (see [W]), a remarkable structure on the solutions of certain rational enumerative geometry problems has been found: the solutions are coefficients in the multiplication table of a quantum cohomology ring. Associativity of the ring yields non-tri...
