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:
“The Americans ... have invented so wide a range of pithy and hackneyed phrases that they can carry on an amusing and animated conversation without giving a moment’s reflection to what they are saying and so leave their minds free to consider the more important matters of big business and fornication.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“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)
