Big Quantum Cohomology
There exists a neighborhood U of 0 ∈ H such that and the Dubrovin connection give U the structure of a Frobenius manifold. Any a in U defines a quantum cup product
by the formula
Collectively, these products on H are called the big quantum cohomology. All of the genus-0 Gromov-Witten invariants are recoverable from it; in general, the same is not true of the simpler small quantum cohomology.

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or quantum:
“We saw the lightning and that was the guns; and then we heard the thunder and that was the big guns; and then we heard the rain falling and that was the blood falling; and when we came to get in the crops, it was dead men that we reaped.”
—Harriet Tubman (1821–1913)
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
